Rafiki Foundation | Training Africans to Transform Africa for Christ
My Name is
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel was seriously malnourished when he and his sister, Phiona, were referred to the Rafiki Foundation. They were both abandoned by their parents and left in the care of an elderly and impoverished grandmother. They were referred to Rafiki Village Uganda and arrived to their new family in November 2005. Emma says “my best part of church is singing and the music.” He loves physical activity that includes running and jumping and kicking and bouncing balls. Emmanuel enjoys the subject of logic because it trains him to properly state an argument which must have three components: a claim, a reason, and a conclusion. He is doing well in his math, science, and Bible classes. He is receiving help for social studies and believes that reading widely will benefit him. Emmanuel thinks it is intriguing that God knows the number of hairs on his head.
