My Name is
Daniel
Daniel
Daniel and his brother were orphaned after their parents died. A concerned neighbor took the boys in because no relatives came for the boys after their parents died. This neighbor then sought help for the boys from the Rafiki Foundation. The boys arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. 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.
