My Name is
Moris

Moris
Moris was put in the care of an uncle after his mother died, and his father remains unknown. His uncle was very poor and could not provide for even his basic needs. He was placed at an orphanage in Kitui, Kenya. The orphanage struggled with limited resources and had too many children to care for, so they asked Rafiki to take over the care of Moris. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2011. Moris shows interest in literature and enjoys reading stories, and he even composes stories of his own. He enjoys drawing, and his work is always beautifully done. He is friendly young man with a cooperative attitude. Moris continues to pray for wisdom, faith, and the diligence to excel in his studies.
