My Name is
Peter
Peter
Peter's mother died of meningitis one month after his birth. His older siblings tried to care for him, but they found they could not properly care for him. No other adult relatives have come forward to care for him. After an investigation of the situation, the social welfare officer approved Peter to be placed at the Rafiki Village Kenya. He soon began to thrive in his new environment with nutritious food, a bed of his own, and the opportunity to attend school. Peter is humble, organized, respectful, and shows great interest and joy in his studies. He especially enjoys computer studies and art. From the Rafiki Bible study, he has learned that Christians should live a life pleasing to God. He strives to follow God in obedience.
