Thomas
Thomas
Thomas’s impoverished grandmother was caring for six children, including Thomas and his sister Gloria. She could not properly care for the children, and Social Welfare asked Rafiki to intervene on behalf of Thomas and Gloria. The siblings arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Now, Thomas is frequently called upon to help organize special activities or mentor younger boys who are struggling with neatness or behavior in the Village. Thomas knows that Jesus is near to him; he does not need to be afraid. He desires to grow in his faith, to die to sin, and to live in union with Christ.
