Josiah
Josiah
Josiah and his twin brother Joseph arrived at the A.I. Children’s Home in Kitui in May 2000. Their mother is deceased, and there was no record of their father. The boys’ elderly grandmother was listed as the point of contact, but she did not visit them very often. They arrived at the Rafiki village in November 2003. Josiah is now attending a Christian University called Daystar and is studying computer programming. It is a good school, but they did have a month-long strike which disrupted his first term. Despite this, his first term grades were quite good. He is finding computer programming to be very challenging, but he still enjoys it. He has very strong math abilities that will help him. He has also enjoyed living campus-life, playing chess, riding a bicycle in the countryside, and teaching Sunday school.
