Dan
Dan
Both of Dan's parents are deceased and Dan was put 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 to his new Rafiki family on October 24, 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. In his science classes, he has had the opportunity to play with circuits and power cells. His favorite subjects are biology, math, and English. He could work harder in geography, literature, and Luganda. Dan enjoys music and has begun to play the guitar.
