My Name is
Gershom
Gershom
Gershom’s mother died in April 2007, and his father died some years before that. After his mothers death, Gershom was temporarily cared for by a pastor from his home village. Social services believed that Gershom would benefit greatly from a permanent home environment and asked for him to be placed in the care of the Rafiki Foundation. Gershom joined the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. Gershom loves to read and learn. His best subject is grammar. He also enjoys exercising, and it teaches him about the value of hard work. He continues to pray that his relationship with God will grow as he ages and matures.
