Luka
Luka's mother died when he was a young child, and his father abandoned him. Luka was placed in the care of an aunt and elderly grandmother who could not care for him. Social welfare placed 3-year-old Luka at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment at the Rafiki Village Zambia. Luka is a bright student who enjoys studying math and science. Luka believes Jesus is the Son of God and his personal Savior, Redeemer, and Mediator.
