My Name is
Simon

Simon
When just an infant, Simon was found abandoned near a hospital in Kampala, Uganda. He weighed just 2.6 lbs. The medical social worker requested that he be placed in a babies' home for care and protection. He was then transferred to the Rafiki Village Uganda in April 2005. One of Simon's favorite subjects is math. He also loves taking care of the Village goats. Simon is interested in becoming a pilot and using that career to serve others. He desires to please God by caring for others, even in the smallest of ways, and he wants to grow in his faith in and love for God.
