My Name is
Jovan
Jovan
Jovan was abandoned as a child and taken to a local orphanage before moving to the Rafiki Village Uganda. Nothing is known about his background or his family. His favorite Bible verse is Psalm 23 verses 1-6 because the verses encourage him. Jovan completed a two-month industrial training program at Kavumba Recreation Centre from mid-December 2017 to the end of January 2018. He enjoyed front office duties and food production. His supervisor found him to be an eager learner who is receptive to correction. Jovan knows he has to work harder in the areas of housekeeping and accommodation. After his experience, he has been paying more attention to engaging in careful communication with his instructors and peers in order to practice accountability.
