My Name is
Micheal
Micheal
When he was two months old, Michael was abandoned at a shop in Kampala, Uganda. A woman left him with the shopkeeper to get some things for the baby and never returned. The local council and police were notified and the situation was thoroughly investigated. Michael then came to Rafiki Village Uganda in February 2005. Micheal chose Galatians 5:22-23 as his favorite Bible verse “because I want to grow in love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control.” Micheal's favorite subjects are biology, commerce, and art. He loves doing science experiments. He is pleased to know how to handle the microscope and enjoyed observing the different slides with the instrument. In art, he has learned to create a diorama and he has had lots of fun looking at his artwork from the middle ground and the background, and then putting it together. Micheal is working on improving his skills in Luganda, geography, and history.
