Jeremiah
Jeremiah
Jeremiah arrived at Rafiki Village Uganda in March 2013. He was in a difficult home situation before his arrival at the Village. A family member cared for him after the death of his parents, but she became overwhelmed with her own children and the many other orphans she cared for. Jeremiah now has a new family and receives good care, a quality education, and lots of love from his Rafiki family. Jeremiah enjoys learning Bible stories and truths about God. He has read nearly all the A-Z readers. He has a great memory when it comes to math facts. He is getting lots of help with cursive. His teachers encourage him to adopt the right sitting posture in class and to be willing to pay attention to instructions intentionally. Jeremiah has learned that God's laws are good but they cannot save sinners, that his laws point to Jesus our Savior, and that sinners need faith to follow Jesus. In a science experiment, Jeremiah couldn't put down the magnifying glass he was using to examine a leaf. He was simply fascinated by the leaf!
