My Name is
Patrick
Patrick
Patrick’s mother died shortly after he was born, and his father was mentally ill and unable to care for him. Patrick was cared for by a crisis nursery and then moved in with his grandmother. He did attend school for a time but, his grandmother soon was not able to pay the $1.50 per month school fee. She struggled to provide just the basic needs for her grandson and asked Rafiki for help. Patrick arrived at Rafiki Village Malawi in December 2013. He is a bright child with a contagious smile. Patrick has demonstrated a consistency in learning new things. While there are times his teacher thinks he is not paying attention but Patrick always has a right answer and works hard in class. His favorite subject is Science.
