My Name is
James

James
After the death of his parents, James's grandmother took care of him and his brother, Frank. Because of poor health, their grandmother was afraid that she would not be able to care for the boys. She asked Rafiki for help. James and Frank arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2008. James is a great reader, and he enjoys reading whenever he can. He also enjoys playing tennis and basketball. James continues to actively seek answers to his spiritual questions and grow in his knowledge of the Lord.
