Jacob
Jacob is a double orphan. He lived with his aunt for a time after his parents died. His aunt was also caring for her mother who had recently had a stroke and found she could not properly care for Jacob. Social welfare recommended Jacob be placed in the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. Jacob says he understands that his school and education are a privilege from God. As he continues to serve others, he learns more about himself and how to work well with others. He particularly enjoys math, science, and language arts. Jacob is alert, active, and enjoys interacting with his peers.
