Awumbe
Awumbe
Awumbe’s parents were both millet farmers in Ghana. Awumbe’s mother died during a riot and his father died some time later. Awumbe and his siblings moved in with an uncle at that time. The uncle had five other children to provide for and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Awumbe and his siblings arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in April 2010. Awumbe has developed into a happy and funny little boy. He has a special ability to brighten everyone’s day with his huge smile.
