Timothy
Timothy
Timothy was referred to the Rafiki Foundation by a local orphanage in Kampala. Timothy was abandoned and given to his grandmother two years ago, when he was an infant. His grandmother struggled to care for him and asked for assistance. Social welfare intervened, and he arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in January of 2010. He soon began to thrive in a cottage with his new Rafiki Mother and several Rafiki siblings. Timothy likes numbers a lot and is often found adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing them. He also enjoys spelling, and he often wins spelling competitions! His teachers give him extra help with language arts, science, and social studies. Timothy can struggle at times with fully paying attention in class. He learned about the importance of team work when he was part of a group that sang the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy" during the end-of-term recitation.
