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. Martin's grandmother eventually sought help from social welfare services to find a permanent home for him and his sister, Grace. The children arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2005. Martin soon proved to be very lively, and he has matured into a respectable young man. He is an example for other young people at the Village. Martin 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.
