My Name is
Paul
Paul
Paul had no one to care for him since the death of his father in 2006. This very poor family, was sustained on the sale of firewood along with neighbors helping as they were able. Social Services asked Rafiki Foundation to intervene in the life of Paul, who was very malnourished. As he came to live at his new home at the Rafiki Village Malawi, March 2007, he bonded well with his new Rafiki Mother and nine new brothers and sisters. He has a gentle and quiet nature with a contagious smile! He enjoys hands-on learning activities, especially anything to do with electronics. His teacher says that he appreciates Paul's teachable spirit and that he asks excellent questions which benefit the whole class. Paul was recently appointed to be a class prefect, which is a high honor.
