My Name is
Alice
Alice
Alice was abandoned to her grandmother when she was only five months old. Two years later the grandmother passed away and Alice was given over to her aunt. The aunt was single, taking care of many children, did not have a paying job, and was therefore unable to care for Alice. Rafiki was contacted and Alice was approved by social welfare. She arrived at Rafiki Village Rwanda in November 2009. Alice is an excellent student and highly motivated to do her best work.
DOB: Jan 27, 2006
