My Name is
Paul
Paul
Paul was found abandoned as a small child and taken to a local police station. Social welfare services placed Paul in a local children’s home hoping the family would call for him. However, no one claimed Paul in the four months that he was there. Paul then arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2014, and he quickly joined the Rafiki family. Paul enjoys playing soccer. He also excels in art and enjoys drawing. He is always willing to help in school, especially with cleaning up. He continues to grow spiritually and seeks to pray when faced with temptation.
