Frank's mother is deceased and his father is in prison. When his father was imprisoned, Frank and two of his older siblings were left in the care of an elderly widow neighbor. She contacted social services who then contacted Rafiki Foundation. Frank arrived at his new home in 2008. He was in poor health when he arrived, but he has benefited from the healthy environment at the village. Frank now enjoys history and social studies. He is doing well in reading, grammar, and vocabulary. He is getting help in Luganda, math, and science. He is learning to grasp concepts instead of cramming information without understanding it. Frank says that he knows God is a God of beauty, and he sees it all around him in Rafiki Village Uganda. Frank was part of a class assignment to recite John 1:1-5 in Latin, and he loved it! He felt he grew to be more confident having spoken before a large group of people.
