Rafiki Foundation | Training Africans to Transform Africa for Christ
My Name is
Isaka
Isaka
Isaka's family was unable to care for him so he was placed in an orphanage that cared for young children. Social Welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to continue his care. Isaka arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2011. Isaka is a smart boy and does well in most subjects. He is learning that moving from Grade 5 to Grade 6 is a big jump, especially in the national subjects. Isaka is totally capable, and we are certain he will bring up those grades this next term. Isaka continues to be on the tennis team for Rafiki and does very well at the sport. Isaka is a polite and respectful boy who obeys quickly at home and at school. He will do well with his education as he continues.
