My Name is
Daniel
Daniel
Daniel and his brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Daniel is now a quiet and kind young man. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, Daniel has learned that he must stay in the light and away from darkness. Due to developments in Rwanda, Daniel is living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting him through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Daniel is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
