Raphael
Raphael
After both Raphael's parents died, he was placed with an impoverished grandmother who struggled to feed herself, let alone him. Social welfare services recognized his situation and recommended that he be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Raphael soon proved to be a patient young man with leadership qualities. He is described as eager to learn and willing to work until he understands new ideas. Raphael understands that Jesus is more than able to forgive him for his sins and that Jesus died on the cross to redeem him.
