My Name is
Timothy

Timothy
Timothy was referred to the Rafiki Foundation by a local orphanage in Kampala, Uganda after he was abandoned and given to his grandmother as an infant. Though she tried, his grandmother could not provide for his basic needs and asked for assistance. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2010. He soon began to thrive in a cottage with his Rafiki Mother and several Rafiki siblings. Timothy enjoys studying mathematics and working with numbers. He also enjoys spelling, and he often wins spelling competitions. Timothy loves Jesus and His Word, and he trusts the Lord to take care of him forever. He enjoys studying the Bible each day with his Rafiki siblings. His favorite book of the Bible is the Gospel of John.
