My Name is
Sam
Sam
Sam arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2011 and soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. He now attends the Rafiki School as a day student. Sam’s favorite day of each week is Sunday when he attends church and worships God with the congregation. After finishing his schooling, Sam hopes to become a technician. He plans to use this position to share the gospel with those he encounters. As Sam strives to imitate Christ each day, he prays that he will be a light in the world and a blessing to those he meets.
