My Name is
Adam
Adam
Adam arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Adam is a boarding student at the Village. He enjoys writing and reading poetry and appreciates the emotional connection it creates between himself and his audience. His favorite hymn is “Day by Day” because it shows him that the Lord watches over him every day. It helps give Adam strength in tribulation as he remembers God’s promises and mercy. Adam prays that he will become a godly man who loves and serves the Lord.
