John
John
Both of John’s parents died leaving him with no one to care for him. His uncle struggled to take care of the child, but with four children of his own, no wife and no work, it was been very difficult. Because of the hardship, the John was malnourished when he came to Rafiki in 2004. Today John is in grade 12. He is a very good student who enjoys school. He desires to study law, journalism, political science, philosophy, or music at a university. He thinks education is a journey and not a destination.
