Wongani
Wongani
Wongani is a dear little boy who lost both his parents by the age of two. He was in the care of a fifty-five-year-old widow who was also caring for seven other orphans. Her only source of income was through subsistence farming with the help of her orphaned grandchildren. Social welfare thought it was urgent to give Wongani a good home at Rafiki for his future wellbeing and to relieve some of the burden of this dear widow. During the last term break, Wongani attended Career Days and heard from a doctor, an accountant, and other professionals about the benefits and requirements of various career options. He excels in writing and takes his education very seriously. His teacher says he asks good questions in class and is really working hard to improve all of his grades.
