Leonard
Leonard
Leonard is a double orphan. He and his twin brother, Boniface, were taken to live with their uncle. The uncle was not physically well and unable to work. Some cousins were trying to help care for the boys but the situation was difficult. The family was anxious for Rafiki Foundation to care for the boys. They were approved by Social Welfare and moved to Rafiki Village Zambia in February 2009. Today Leonard is in the 8th grade. Leonard believes Jesus is the only Redeemer. From God's word, Leonard has learned God expects him to change his bad ways and live a good life. He knows God has saved him and made him His son because the Bible tells him that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. A recent prayer God answered for Leonard was to help him improve in his studies. Leonard is a good helper and shares with his friends. He needs to work on becoming more kind, have respect for his friends, and have more self-control.
