My Name is
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, so they asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Alick arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2009. Alick believes Jesus is the Son of God and the only Savior. He knows God wants him to love others and hide His Word in his heart. Alick has learned that God wants him to glorify Him and trust in Him alone. Alick is good at helping 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.
