My Name is
Dan
Dan
After both of Dan's parents died when he was a small child, he was placed in the care of an elderly and impoverished uncle. The social welfare office requested help for Dan because his uncle had several other orphans and was unable to care for him. Dan arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2005. He quickly began to enjoy the village, and he enjoyed his very first birthday party when he arrived at Rafiki! Dan now hopes to become an electrician in the future. His favorite subjects are biology, math, and English. Dan also enjoys music and playing the guitar. He is inspired by the Apostle Paul's perseverance and endurance. Dan understands that righteousness is a gift from God, and he seeks to love and care for others genuinely.
