My Name is
Kofi Sefa
Kofi Sefa
Kofi’s mother is mentally unstable. While they were living in a mother’s hostel she was reported to have hallucinations and become violent. Social welfare took custody of Kofi in order to get help for his mother. Kofi arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2002. He is the oldest boy in his cottage, so he takes an active role in helping his younger brothers and keeping things running smoothly in the house. Kofi loves to read, and has recently become addicted to the Hardy Boys series.
