My Name is
Sandra
Sandra
Sandra and her two cousins arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Sandra is now a kind young woman who enjoys spending time with her friends. Due to developments in Rwanda, Sandra is now living off-site from the Village. We are, however, still supporting her through a full scholarship and two meals daily. Sandra continues to grow spiritually as she reads through the Bible. From the Rafiki Bible Study lesson on the Psalms, Sandra has learned that she should give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love that endures forever. Sandra is a day student at the Rafiki School in Rwanda.
