Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel's mother died shortly after he was born, and his father was unable to care for him and abandoned him. Emmanuel was temporarily placed in a short-term orphan care facility before arriving at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007. Emmanuel believes Jesus is the Son of God and that God has made him His child and is providing everything he needs. Emmanuel is an intense and bright young man with lots of energy and potential for achievement in various arenas. He has a big and endearing personality. Emmanuel is a wonderful goalkeeper on the school soccer team, and he is working hard to keep up his grades to hold that position.
