My Name is
Charles

Charles
Charles was abandoned as a baby and taken to a local orphanage. Little is known about his background or his family. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2003. Charles’ favorite school subject is math because he likes solving complex problems. Charles plays the trumpet in the Rafiki Orchestra and enjoys making music with others to worship God. He knows that God is all-wise and that He will impart wisdom to those who cry out to Him for it. He trusts Christ because He protects and provides. Charles wants to continue drawing near to the Lord and learning more about Him.
