My Name is
Denis

Denis
After the death of their father, Denis and his brother, Charles, went to live with their impoverished aunt in a small, one-room house. Their aunt cooked bananas and sold them for income. Though she tried, she could not properly care for the boys. She asked Rafiki for help, and Denis and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2015. Denis is now a pleasant young man who likes to have fun. He is sharp and learns content quickly. He loves Christ as his Savior and is thankful for the opportunity to learn about Him each day at Rafiki. He participates well in devotions, and he enjoys studying God's Word and memorizing Scripture.
