Raphael
Raphael
Raphael was born outside of wedlock and soon thereafter his parents passed away. He was then placed with his poor grandmother who is depending on subsistence farming on a small plot of land and it is not enough to feed her, much less Raphael. Social welfare recognized his situation and recommended he be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi. He arrived at his new home, Rafiki Village in January 2007 and was welcomed with open arms by his Rafiki Mother and cottage brothers. Ralph has been appointed to be the prefect for his class, which is quite an honor and speaks to his patient leadership qualities. He is described by his teacher as eager to learn and willing to work until he understands new ideas. He enjoys Computer class.
