My Name is
Caleb

Caleb
Caleb’s mother was placed in prison when he was young child, and his father is unknown. His grandmother could not care for him, so he was taken to a local baby orphanage. They contacted Rafiki, and Caleb arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2013. One of Caleb's favorite hymns is "Amazing Grace." He enjoys helping around the Village, playing sports and card games, and reading. He also enjoys studying math. Caleb prays to be humble and loving. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, he has gained a better understanding of his Creator and Redeemer, and he seeks to honor God in everything he does.
