My Name is
Paul
Paul
Paul was found by a Good Samaritan who took him to the local police station. Social Welfare placed Paul in a local children’s home hoping the family would call for him. However, no one claimed Paul in the four months he was there. In August 2013, he was transferred to another children’s home. Paul then arrived at Rafiki Village Kenya in February 2014, and he quickly became part of the family. Paul would like you to know that he enjoys playing soccer. He also excels in Art and loves drawing. He is always willing to help in school, especially with cleaning up. He can struggle with spelling, science, and grammar at times; but he has improved in his behavior and interacts kindly with others.
