My Name is
Frank
Frank
After the death of his parents, Frank's grandmother took care of him and his brother, James. Because of poor health, she was afraid that she would not be able to care for the boys. She asked Rafiki for help. Frank and James arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2008. Frank continues to be a charming student. He can talk to anyone about anything because he reads widely. Frank also enjoys playing tennis and is quite good at the sport. He is nearly always seen with a tennis racket and/or a book in his hand! Frank is sure of his salvation because Jesus is his personal Lord and Savior.
