My Name is
Isaac
Isaac
Isaac’s mother died an hour after Isaac was born. The father, an impoverished farmer with two older children to care for, tried to hand over the baby to the local villagers to care for him. After that many more unsuccessful attempts, social welfare deemed it best to remove the child from the situation and hand the child over to Rafiki. Isaac arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in June 2003. Isaac absolutely lights up when MiniMissionaries come to visit and spends as much time with them as possible.
