Kwame

Kwame
Kwame, along with his brother and sister, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. During his free time, Kwame enjoys playing soccer. His favorite part of each day is his personal devotion time. Kwame loves learning more about God and he often marvels at God's creation. Now a graduate, Kwame is being supported by a Rafiki scholarship in his pursuit of further education. He sees God's faithfulness in giving him a home at the Village where he constantly heard God's Word. Kwame makes good choices, is mature, and seeks to discern what is right in the Lord's eyes.
