My Name is
Clementine
Clementine
Clementine was brought to her uncle in 2009 after both her parents died of sickness. Her aunt and uncle were caring for five other children at the time and sought to raise Clementine. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. Clementine soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Due to developments in Rwanda, Clementine is now living off-site from the Village; however, she is still receiving full scholarship. She continues to grow spiritually. While studying the Psalms, she learned that God always wants His people to return to him. Clementine continues to seek to grow in her relationship with God.
