Ibrahim
Ibrahim
Ibrahim was quite fearful when he arrived at Rafiki Village Kenya in March of 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 is now very happy and playful. Ibrahim is growing spiritually and is trying very hard to do what God requires. He is diligent in what he does and obedient to his word. Ibrahim is discrete and determined in his work. He is creative and very resourceful. Ibrahim is currently in the Kenya Wildlife Service Training Institute and is taking courses in nature interpretation and tour administration. He is in the certificate level and is completing his first semester. He really enjoys animals and nature, so this is a great fit! He has had some wonderful experiences outside the classroom camping and hiking. He is very grateful for this opportunity and for your continued support.
