David
David
Both of David's parents are deceased. His mother died in 2003 while giving birth and his father's whereabouts are unknown. David has been living with his aunt but her husband committed a crime, fled the village, and abandoned the family. The aunt contacted Social Welfare to help find a place for the child as she has no source of income and was about to be evicted from her home. David came to live at Rafiki in June of 2006 and now has a new family and is attending preschool. David recently enjoyed competing with his classmates in an Academic Challenge. He is described by his teacher as being attentive in class, and he especially excels in Language Arts. His entry into the all-school poetry contest was in the top 5 of all submissions! As a good leader and quiet role model, he has been appointed to be one of the prefects for his class.
