James
After the death of his parents, Jame's grandmother took care of him and his brother Frank. Because of poor health she was afraid that she would not be able to care for the boys. She asked Rafiki for help. James and Frank came to live at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2008. James is a great reader but struggles in math and science. This past term he really worked to bring up the scores on his national subjects, especially Swahili. James continues to play tennis and has tried his hand at basketball also. He is a good athlete, and we hope that this will encourage him to work hard on his schoolwork. This year, James is preparing to take his Grade 7 national exam in September. He is capable of doing well on this exam.
