Boaz
Boaz
Boaz and his mother lived with his uncle when he was a small child because she could not care for him by her herself. However, his uncle had many other children and was unable to care for them both. He applied for help from social services, and Boaz arrived at the Rafiki village Uganda in 2008. He now enjoys living and learning in a loving environment. Boaz's favorite subject is science because it is practical. He has learned through science that God made animals to be different from people and that God created the world in a week and how that can be related to math. Boaz has asked for help with social studies. In his history class, Boaz recently learned about the great reformer Martin Luther. He is learning to play the recorder in music class and has mastered the hymn "O Come, All Ye Faithful."
