My Name is
Gerald

Gerald
After the death of both Gerald’s parents, he was living with his older sister. She was unable to care for him because she had no source of income and could hardly provide food for herself. She contacted social welfare services, and they referred him to Rafiki. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2006. Gerald seeks to persevere in the challenges he faces in life. Gerald strives to do the right thing to please God.
