Rich
Rich
Rich’s mother died in 2011 and his father abandoned him. A church member cared for Rich until he could be brought to the Rafiki Village Tanzania. He arrived in 2012. Rich is a fun-loving boy who is adjusting to the move from Grade 4 to Grade 5. Rich is smart, but he has to learn to work hard if he wants to continue to do well in all his subjects. As students move up a grade, they must overcome a learning curve. Rich did well on his Grade 4 national exam, so he can do the work if he decides to put in a bit more effort. He is capable of all A's and B's in the future.
