Edmund
Edmund
When Edmund’s parents died, he was left in the care of his aunt along with his two brothers and one sister. The aunt was unable to adequately feed the children. Social welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to assume the care of Edmund. He and his brother Ebenezer arrived at their new home at Rafiki Village Ghana in May 2009 and are enjoying his new family and school. Edmund continues to develop into a polite, smart, and talented boy. He is athletic and energetic, and he loves to laugh and play.
