My Name is
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Since birth, Emmanuel was carried on his mother’s back as she wandered the city of Accra. Many times Emmanuel and his mother slept on the street. Emmanuel has never been to school. He has two sisters and a brother that came to Rafiki before he was born. Emmanuel was moved to Rafiki Village Ghana in September 2009. He enjoys pretending to be a soldier with other boys in the class, and they can frequently be found marching in formation around the playground and practicing their salutes.
