My Name is
Caleb
Caleb
Caleb’s mother was in prison and his father is unknown. The grandmother could not care for him and so he was taken to a local baby orphanage. They contacted the Rafiki Foundation to see if they could find a stable home environment for Caleb. The other children at the Rafiki Village were thrilled to have “baby” Caleb join their family in October of 2013. Caleb is learning to pray. When he prays, he asks for love and to help those who are sick. He listens to God's words every day and likes the stories about Abraham, the Apostle Paul, and Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus. Caleb has learned to share with his friends. He feels sad when someone is having pain or crying. Caleb is learning to discern between right and wrong. He can follow his Rafiki mother's rules even when she is not there. "Amazing Grace" is the most recent hymn Caleb has learned.
