Claude
Claude
Claude’s father died before Claude was born and his mother died in the hospital giving birth to him. At that time, Claude’s aunt, Uwimana Donatha, picked him up from the hospital and brought him to her home to care for him. She is HIV+ and is no longer able to take care of Claude. Claude was brought to the Rafiki Village Rwanda in March 2009. Olivier, a friend of Claude, came to live at the Rafiki Village in January. The boys were so happy to be reunited and live in the same Rafiki cottage!
