Claude
Claude
Claude’s father died before he was born, and his mother died in the hospital giving birth to him. He lived with his aunt for a time, but she could not provide for his needs. Claude was brought to the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. He soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. He enjoys learning about science, and he especially enjoys performing experiments. Claude has learned about living a holy life, loving others, and imitating Jesus through studying God's Word in the Rafiki Bible Study.
