James
James
James’s father died HIV+ and his mother also had HIV. She contacted social services so that James and his sister, Sandra, could have a future and a hope for their lives. Social services referred the brother and sister to Rafiki and they arrived in April 2017. James' favorite subjects are art, music, and science. He is intrigued that his brain controls his other body parts and that his heart is the home of the Holy Spirit. He has asked for help with math and is making the effort to practice his sums more often. This year, James is studying logic and enjoys thinking correctly, reasoning, and drawing conclusions in an argument. He is also improving his penmanship and cursive.
