Elijah

Elijah was referred to Rafiki by an orphanage four hours away from the Village. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in October 2004 and proved to be a very affectionate and creative child with a hint of mischief. Elijah has a hearing impairment and began attending a school for the deaf in western Kenya. The school is considered one of the best secondary schools for the deaf, and his class consisted of many deaf students from around the country. When he returned to the Village each day, he especially enjoyed devotions with his cottage family. Elijah graduated and is now pursuing a certificate in motor vehicle repair. He is also learning about wheat harvesting and hopes to learn how to drive a combine harvester. He enjoys the friendships he has made in his classes and continues to learn how to communicate with others. Elijah prays that he will be responsible with what he is given and share God’s Word with those he meets.
