My Name is
Ibrahim
Ibrahim
Ibrahim was quite fearful when he arrived at Rafiki Village Kenya in 2004. His background and history made him fearful of change and strangers. It took Ibrahim a week longer than the other children to adjust to his new home, but he soon became comfortable. Ibrahim continues to grow spiritually and to do what God requires. He is diligent in what he does and obedient to his word. Ibrahim has graduated from the Rafiki School and is currently in the Kenya Wildlife Service Training Institute, taking courses in nature interpretation and tour administration. He really enjoys animals and nature, so this is a great fit! He is very grateful for this opportunity and for your continued support.
