Hillary
Hillary was found abandoned in the Moshi area when he was just four months old. The woman that found him placed him at a baby's home in the area. However, the home became too crowded, and they consulted Rafiki for help. In November 2011, Hillary arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania. Hillary is now a smart young man who has a bright future for his education. He enjoys playing basketball and loves the sport. Hillary knows that God placed him in the Rafiki Village, and he is grateful. He enjoys learning about God and reading the Bible each day.
