Lackson
Lackson
Lackson was orphaned in 2007 at age 6 when both his mother and father died. Lackson was taken in by a woman from his church, but she was unable to provide for him. A few months later social welfare brought Lackson to Rafiki Village Zambia where he found hope, nourishment, security, and love. Now in Senior Secondary School, Lackson knows God has given him a new heart, saved him, and made him His child. He has learned from God's Word that God wants him to live for Christ, make godly choices, and give Him his best. He is learning to find answers in the Bible for life's meaning. Lackson is a top student, a quiet and introspective young man, and aspires to excel in all areas. He is a good role model for the other students and enjoys running and playing football (soccer).
