Martin
Martin
Martin was abandoned in May 2002 when he was two years old. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2004. Martin quickly adjusted well to his new surroundings. Now, Martin’s favorite school subject is science. Martin also reads widely and excels at English and literature. He chose John 13:33 as his favorite Bible verse because “it tells me Jesus is still with us.”
