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 Moris's 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. They asked Rafiki to take over the care of Moris. He arrived at his new home at the Rafiki Village in Kenya and started school 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, has a cooperative attitude, and has been a big help in keeping the classroom looking clean and pleasant. He consistently shows improvement in Math despite his challenges with math skills.
