Erick
Erick
Erick had been living with his uncle who had been caring for his own six children. There was not adequate funds for him to care for his own family, let alone Erick. Social Services had contacted the Rafiki Foundation asking if Erick could be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi. Now, Erick is in Grade 8 and he still likes math. He and his classmates wrote national exams in May and are waiting for their results. Erick is a good athlete but also a fine musician.
