John
John’s father had been deceased for a few years when his mother died in 2007. Upon the death of his mother, John and his brother, Mathias, were given to an uncle who has a wife and six children. He is a farmer and barely makes enough to provide food for his own family, let alone two extra children. The lack of care for the boys was verified by a local social worker. The brothers came to Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2008. John is very helpful and often volunteers to stay after school to help clean the classroom.
