Joseph
Joseph
Joseph was abandoned by both of his parents at birth and was being cared for by a state-run orphanage just outside of Jos, Nigeria. At age three, he was screened and approved to come the Rafiki Village Nigeria. He arrived at the Village in 2003. Joseph admires the Lord's trustworthiness, and it produces in him a desire to be trustworthy.
