My Name is
Dalitso
Dalitso
Dalitso and his twin sister Blessing, had moved four times since their mother died when they were babies. They lived at two babies’ homes and then spent time with an uncle and then their grandmother. Social welfare conducted a home visit and found them to be very malnourished. They sought a permanent solution with the Rafiki Foundation. They arrived to their new permanent home in April 2013. Dalitso is now in the 3rd grade. Dalitso reads his Bible with his Rafiki mother's help and also the help of his older cottage brothers. He prays on his own. When Dalitso prays, he thanks God for food, a house, mothers and teachers who teach him. God has answered Dalitso's prayers for help in writing his homework, improving his studies, having more love for his friends, and being obedient at school. Dalitso knows the Bible is God's written Word. He believes Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins. He is our Savior.
