My Name is
Jacob
Jacob
Jacob is a double orphan and was living with his aunt Mary. Mary was also caring for her mother who had recently had a stroke. Social welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to intervene in the life of Jacob. Jacob arrived at his new home in May of 2008. Today Jacob is in the 7th grade Jacob says of himself, "I am understanding that my school time and education are a privilege from God. This year, I have enjoyed learning math, science, and language arts." Jacob is alert, active, and enjoys his associations with his peers. He is still needing much assistance in channeling his energy and desire down acceptable avenues and with correct timing.
