My Name is
Joshua
Joshua
Joshua's parents were killed in 2010 in mudslides that buried an entire village and the families living there. Joshua, his twin brother Gideon, and his older sister Mercy survived. The three children arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2010. Joshua loves working with difficult and hard-to-understand things, including math, his favorite subject! He is a capable young man with the potential to excel in every subject. Joshua knows that Jesus is the perfect lamb of God who gave his life for sinners.
