Diana
Diana was placed in the care of her young uncle after her mother died. He worked two jobs, and Diana was often left on her own. Her uncle began looking for a place to care for Diana, and he contacted the Rafiki Foundation. Diana arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. She was soon healthy and happy in her new home. Diana has learned how to seek God's help and ask God for guidance. She continues to develop a strong prayer life, and she continues to grow in her trust of the Lord. Diana also seeks to encourage others to grow in their faith as well.
