For a while he lived with an aunt who was single and had two children of her own to care for. Emanuel arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Emanuel is a very bright student. He always makes good grades in all his subjects. Emanuel continues to be a serious student and to work hard. Emanuel also plays on the Rafiki tennis team and loves to compete.
