My Name is
Khumbo
Khumbo
Khumbo is a sweet young boy who lost his mother in March of 2007. He was only two years old. His father’s whereabouts are unknown. Khumbo was being cared for by his grandfather whose only income came from renting out his bicycle to bicycle taxi operators in Mzuzu City. It was apparent that Khumbo was in need of a home that could better provide for him physically, emotionally and materially. Khumbo has made the transition into Rafiki very well. His quiet, timid demeanor is changing to a joyful and loving personality. He is rarely unhappy. Khumbo is always smiling or in deep concentration to focus on things going on around him. He is a delight to all those around him.
