Charles
After the death of their father, Charles and his brother Denis went to live with their aunt. They lived in a small room that was only about twenty square feet large with just a mattress on the floor for sleeping and no other furniture. There was no indoor plumbing or electricity. For income, their aunt would cook bananas and sell them. The two boys were not in school. The aunt asked for help from the Rafiki Foundation and they arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2015. Charles is a sweet boy and has just moved from kindergarten into first grade. Charles is learning that he must put forth lots of effort now that he is in "real school." He needs to practice his spelling words and reading. Charles is a bit slow in learning, but with hard work he can do well. He has encouraging teachers who will help him with his learning.
