My Name is
Barakael
Barakael
The mother of Baraka died when he was one year old and his father is unknown. The grandfather had been caring for Barakeal and his brother, Frederick, but due to poor health, he was no longer able to work and care for the boys. Rafiki Foundation was contacted and Social Welfare approved the boys to be moved to the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. Baraka struggles in school. When he does work hard, he gets better scores, so hopefully he will begin soon to see the pattern and choose to work hard at school. Baraka did bring up several of his scores from the end of Grade 5 to the first term in Grade 6.
