Isaac
Isaac
Isaac and his twin sister, Sandra, were left as orphans when their father died in 2009; their mother had died in 2007. An aunt offered to care for the twins, but with five children of her own and no means of supporting all of the children, the aunt asked for help. Social Welfare contacted the Rafiki Foundation and the twins were approved and moved to their new home in March 2011. Isaac is an eager and enthusiastic boy. He loves going to school and excels in art and outdoor games.
