My Name is
Livingstone
Livingstone
After the death of both his parents, Livingstone lived with his grandfather. His grandfather was blind and unable to care for him, so Livingstone was then referred to the Rafiki Village Uganda. He arrived in 2006, joining his cousin Agnes who already lived at Rafiki. Livingstone's favorite subjects are math, geography, English, and entrepreneurship. He continues to play the clarinet and has had opportunities to perform in church and at public functions. Livingstone admires the Apostle Paul, who endured suffering for the sake of the gospel. He vows to put his faith in Christ alone all the days of his life.
