My Name is
Spencer

Spencer
Both of Spencer's parents are deceased, and he was living with his elderly, impoverished grandmother in a desperate situation. Because she could not properly care for him, social welfare services asked the Rafiki Foundation to assume Spencer's care. He arrived at the Rafiki Village in Malawi in 2006. Now, Spencer has a passion for writing. He is grateful to God for keeping him strong and healthy, and he appreciates that God hears him when he prays.
