Frederick

Frederick
Frederick’s mother died in 2008, and his father remains unknown. His grandfather cared for him and his younger brother Barakeal for a time. Their grandfather was in poor health and was unable to work and care for the boys. He asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. The boys then moved to the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. Fred does very well in art and physical education in school. He also enjoys playing basketball, is very skilled, and often shows good sportsmanship. Fred continues to work diligently in school and to trust in Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.
