Martin
Martin
Martin’s grandmother assumed responsibility for four children in the family following the death of Martin’s father. Due to failing health, poor vision, difficulty walking, and poor financial status, she sought help from social welfare for placement for the children. Martin and his sister Grace came to live at Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2005. Martin is a very lively young man. He can be seen running full speed in many directions and doing many things. He enjoys working in the garden.
