Inocent
Inocent
Inocent was malnourished and small for his age when he arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in May 2012. His grandmother cared for him after he was abandoned by his mother, but as a widow with no income and other dependents to care for, she struggled to provide even his basic necessities. Inocent is a good student and does well in most of his subjects. He is learning that a move from Grade 3 to Grade 4 is a big step. Inocent is preparing for his Grade 4 national exam in the fall, and thus he needs to put extra effort into all of his national subjects. National subjects require lots of memorization, so concentration and diligence are required. Inocent is smart and will do well on the exam. Inocent is also trying his hand at playing basketball. He is fast on the court, and he is enjoying the physical activity.
