My Name is
Joseph
Joseph
Joseph’s mother died when he was nine months old, his father is unknown. His aunt cared for him since he was a baby but she is a single mother with two children of her own and cannot care for Joseph so the social welfare officer asked Rafiki to help Joseph. He arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2014. Joesph is a bright boy who does well in school. He has met the challenge of moving from Grade 1 to Grade 2. Joseph has a great potential of being really good in school with a minimum of effort. He understands and learns quickly. Joseph is polite and cooperative in class. Joseph is also a good reader, which helps in all his subjects. Joseph needs to work on his math facts while they are still simple so that he can build them for later.
