My Name is
Faustin
Faustin
After Faustin’s mother died, a woman in the community offered to take him. She was already caring for ten orphans at the time. She struggled to care for them all and asked Social Welfare for help. After an investigation, Social Welfare approved Faustin's move to the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. Faustin now enjoys school and is eager to learn. He is an active young man who loves playing soccer. Faustin is very bright and has a big imagination. He excels in school, especially in art. Faustin understands that God is always with him and protects him. From studying Paul's letters to the Thessalonians in the Rafiki Bible Study, he has learned that he should always be helpful and willing to work. Faustin seeks opportunities to help others and lend a hand.
