My Name is
Deogloriosio

Deogloriosio
Deo's parents are both deceased, making him a double orphan. His father died right before he was born and his mother soon after. He was then placed in the care of his impoverished grandmother. Though she tried, she could not provide for Deo's basic needs and asked for help. Deo was referred by social welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. Deo's favorite subjects are science, art, and math. He enjoys practical things, including printing, making pottery, drawing maps, designing art pieces, and using the microscope. He desires to live a meaningful life which demonstrates the marks of a true Christian.
