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 at a crisis nursery center before living with his grandmother. Though she tried, she could not provide for Patrick's basic needs and schooling. Patrick arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2013. He soon proved to be bright child with a contagious smile. Patrick demonstrates consistency in learning new things and works hard in class. His favorite subject is science. Patrick knows that Jesus loves him despite his sin and wrongdoings. He takes comfort in the fact that Jesus is seated at God's right hand, praying for him and all other believers.
