My Name is
John
John
John is a precious young boy who came to us in December 2007 with decent overall health, yet malnourished. Both his parents died before 2006. John was being cared for by a couple who lived only by subsistence farming of rice and sweet potatoes. The home environment was not conducive to John’s physical development and well-being. He has adjusted well to his new home at Rafiki with a good appetite and bonding with his new Rafiki Mother. His attentiveness in class has improved by leaps and bounds this term. John does well in many subjects but enjoys Math and Language Arts most of all.
