My Name is
Beauregard
Beauregard
Beauregard’s mother died soon after giving birth to him in November of 2006. His father was killed in 2007. After the death of his father, Beauregard was sent to live with an uncle. Their home was a dirt-floored, reed-walled structure that housed Beauregard, his aunt, uncle, and five other children. His uncle was unemployed and struggled to provide for them. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted and Beauregard moved to his new home, at the Rafiki Village on December 15, 2010. Beu loves to learn about math because math helps him learn how to calculate and operate. When he grows up, he hopes to be a doctor or a pilot.
