Matias
After his mother died in 2009, Matias lived with his grandmother. She could not educate or properly care for Matias and asked Rafiki for help. Matias arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2011. Matias is now a bright student. He also enjoys playing basketball, and he is a very strong player. It is fun to watch him play. Matias knows that God guides him in everything he does. He strives to do what is right and glorify God in his actions.
