My Name is
Mediatrice
Mediatrice
Mediatrice’s parents became sick and both died in 2007. Mediatrice then lived with her grandparents for a time. It was difficult for her aging grandparents to care for her and their other grandchildren with very little income. They asked Social Welfare for help. Mediatrice arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. Her health greatly improved with a nutritious diet and a stable home environment. Mediatrice has learned that a strong prayer life brings her increasingly closer to God. She enjoys reading the Psalms or the Gospels and praying for her personal devotions. She seeks to continue hiding God's Word in her heart as she matures.
