Moses arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2005. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Moses has a great sense of humor. He enjoys reading detective stories. His favorite hymn is "Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners" because it reminds him that Jesus forgives and promises to be with him to the end.
