My Name is
Innocent
Innocent
Innocent was abandoned at barely a year old and was referred to a babies' home. Not much else is known about his history. At the time of his arrival, we didn’t even know his last name. Social welfare recommended he be placed at Rafiki Village Uganda, and he arrived at his new home in March 2006. Innocent continues to grow tall, healthy, and strong with a good appetite and plenty of exercise. Innocent can be depended on to do the right thing. Innocent's favorite subject is science. He is fascinated by the study of the body and the different complex systems: digestive, circulatory, excretory, and respiratory. He thinks that God the creator is amazing. He is getting help with Luganda and social studies. In art, he learned that a long time ago men had to come up with colors from both the soil of the earth and bird droppings in order to paint on rocks. Innocent and his classmates recited "The Blacksmith" at the end of term and appreciated the hard work required to do something with excellence.
