Smart
Smart’s mother died two weeks after his birth, and his father died soon after her. Smart then lived with an aunt who did not have the means to care for his basic needs. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2010 and benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Smart soon proved to show potential in academics. He is active in class discussions when given the chance to speak and loves to participate! Smart knows that Jesus is the Lamb of God who died to save him from sin.
