George
George was abandoned as a baby and taken to a local orphanage. He moved to the Rafiki Village Uganda in February 2003. He is now thriving at Rafiki and is thankful for the nutritious food, a bed of his own, and the opportunity to attend school. George enjoys playing sports and is a member of the Rafiki choir. George’s favorite school subject is science because he gets to do science experiments. George enjoys all kinds of experiments in his biology, chemistry, and physics classes. He recently was fascinated by an experiment to prove osmosis occurs in living tissue. He is also studying early sacred music, and he understands that music has been God's gift to mankind since the beginning of the world. George enjoys playing the cello, and he is currently getting help with his math lessons.
