My Name is
Onesmus
Onesmus
Onesmus's mother passed away two months after he was born. His elderly, impoverished grandmother, though she tried, could not provide for his basic needs. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2005. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Onesmus enjoys learning about geometry. He is good at soccer and physical education classes. He has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that he must rejoice in the Lord and pray without ceasing. He continues to pray for academic and spiritual growth.
