My Name is
Emmanuel

Emmanuel
Emmanuel was seriously malnourished when he and his sister Phiona arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2005. They were both abandoned by their parents and left in the care of an elderly and impoverished grandmother who could not provide for their needs. Emmanuel enjoys the subject of logic because it trains him to properly state an argument. He does well in his math, science, and Bible classes. Emmanuel continues to learn how to love others with brotherly affection and to look for ways to help those in need. He prays to be wise, thoughtful, and mature in his faith.
