Alick
Alick
Alick is a double orphan. He lived with his grandparents after the death of his mother in 2007. His grandparents were already caring for seven children in their home. They were overwhelmed with the needs of the children and could not afford to send them to school. They asked Rafiki Foundation for help. Alick arrived at his new home, Rafiki Village Zambia in March 2009. He is currently in the 7th grade. Alick believes Jesus is the Son of God and He is the only Savior. He knows God wants him to love others and to hide His Word in his heart. Alick has learned that God wants him to glorify Him and trust in Him alone. He feels bad when he does something wrong, but still thinks of himself as a follower of Jesus. Alick believes God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. Alick is good to help others when they are struggling and need help. He knows he needs to work on putting God first in his life and having more love for others.
