Kwame
Kwame was brought to the Rafiki Village Ghana in March 2011. Kwame is a very sweet and sensitive little boy. He can be quiet, but he has a warm smile when he opens up! He likes the hymn "Though Troubles Assail Us" because it reminds him that Jesus will provide for His own. Kwame enjoys studying history and learning about the past.
