Isaac
Isaac
Isaac was abandoned by his grandmother who could not care for him as a small child. He arrived at the Rafiki village in December 2007. He now enjoys a full life with a loving Rafiki family. Isaac's favorite class is physical education because he gets to be outdoors to stretch his body. His best subject is math because he likes to work on sums. Isaac needs help with social studies. He has also been encouraged to practice his handwriting. Isaac knows God is an artist when he looks at the way God has organized the earth. Isaac made paper airplanes to fly during science class. He learned that an object will stay at rest and not begin moving unless a force is exerted on it.
