My Name is
Cossam

Cossam
Cossam arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007 following the death of both of his parents. He was welcomed by five new Rafiki brothers, and the six of them were quite a rambunctious and fun little group. Now, Cossam is active in class discussions. He knows that Jesus loves him, and he tries to obey the Word of God because he knows it is truth.
