Joseph
Joseph and his twin brother Josiah arrived at the A.I. Children’s Home in Kitui in May 2000. Their mother is deceased, and there is no record of their father. Joseph and Josiah found their home at the Rafiki Children’s Center in Nairobi in November 2003. Joseph enjoys learning Geography and asks questions to further his knowledge. Joseph now does well in most of his subjects and is average academically. He is polite, kind, and trustworthy with responsibilities. He has improved in his level of self-control and in his interactions with others in class. He struggles with Kiswahili, but he will continue to improve.
