Mathias
Mathias
Mathias’s father had been deceased for a few years when his mother died in 2007. Upon the death of his mother, Mathias and his brother, John, were given to an uncle who has a wife and six children. He is a farmer and barely makes enough to provide food for his own family, let alone two extra children. The lack of care for the boys was verified by a local social worker. The brothers came to Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2008. Mathias loves to play soccer, and is a fierce competitor despite his small stature.
