My Name is
Queenie
Queenie
Queenie arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2011. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Queenie is a kind young woman with an infectious smile. Due to developments in Rwanda, Queenie is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Queenie has learned the value of prayer from this transition. She continues to strive to grow closer to God. Queenie is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
