My Name is
Isaac
Isaac
Isaac was abandoned by his grandmother who could not care for him as a small child. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2007. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. 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 with numbers. Isaac knows God is an artist when he looks at the way God has organized the earth. Isaac seeks to display the fruit of the Spirit, especially self-control, gentleness, and kindness.
