My Name is
John
John
Both of John’s parents died, leaving him with no one to care for him. His uncle struggled to take care of him with four children of his own, no wife, and no work. He eventually sought help to raise John. Because of the hardship, John was malnourished when he came to Rafiki in 2004. John is now a very good student who enjoys school. He desires to study law, journalism, political science, philosophy, or music at a university. He sees education is a journey and not a destination. John is working hard on looking more like Jesus every day. He continues to pray to become a man after God's own heart.
