Benon
Benon
Benon was born to a fifteen-year-old mother who died in child birth. His grandfather was old and unable to care for him. He was brought to an orphanage for babies in Kampala, Uganda. Benon arrived at his new home at Rafiki Village Uganda in October 2006 and happily adjusted to the new environment. Benon listens quietly during church and knows that praying is talking to God. He and his Rafiki brothers are active in any game that requires using a ball of any kind! Benon and his classmates were recently able to recite John 1:1-5 in Latin. He was proud of his achievement. He enjoys Luganda lessons as he attempts to compare words in Luganda with words in English. He has started to study history and was fascinated by the travels of Christopher Columbus and stories of the American Indians. Benon's best subject is math. He is working hard to improve his English language arts, grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills.
