My Name is
Julius
Julius
Julius’ mother abandoned him and gave him over to his uncle when her husband died. His uncle had seven children of his own and could not properly care for Julius. He asked social services for help, and Julius came to Rafiki Village Uganda in March 2008. He soon proved to be a growing, active, full-of-energy young boy. Julius and his Rafiki brothers love to play any game that involves kicking, throwing, or bouncing a ball. He is also a good student. Julius enjoys counting and crunching numbers, and he looks forward to math classes. He has excelled in fractions and decimals. He thinks he would like to become an accountant in the future. He also likes art and has started to draw and paint. He is getting help with social studies, which requires a significant amount of reading and analysis. He is inspired by John Gutenberg's work, whom he first "met" in his history classes.
