Benson Michael
Michael was found at the prison grounds by a “good Samaritan” woman named Grace who took him to the police station on August 28, 2005. The police then brought the child to the hospital on the same day. Social Services recommended him to the Rafiki Village Kenya, and he arrived in September 2005. Michael was placed in a lovely family at the Rafiki Village. Soon after his arrival, he was taken to church and introduced to the congregation! They all enjoyed meeting the newest addition to the Rafiki family. Recently, Benson has been enjoying Math and Science. Despite the many activities and experiments, he still finds them exciting. He uses his time constructively and is eager to learn new things. He can struggle with Kiswahili, but he works hard. He is gaining self-confidence, and he has a pleasant personality.
