My Name is
Martin
Martin
Martin’s father died and his mother abandoned him when he was a young child. His grandmother assumed responsibility for him and four other children following his father's death. Due to failing health, poor vision, difficulty walking, and poor financial status, she sought help from social welfare services to find a permanent home for the children. Martin and his sister Grace arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2005. Martin soon proved to be a very lively young man. He has matured into a respectable young man, and he is an example for other young people at the Village. He thanks the Lord for his faithfulness in guiding him to the Rafiki Village and says that God's grace is clearly seen at the Rafiki Village.
