My Name is
Diane
Diane
Diane’s father was never known. When her mother died in 2006, Diane went to live with her aunt. Though she tried, Diane's aunt could not provide for her basic needs. Diane was approved by social welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. Diane is thriving in her new environment thanks to a good diet, good hygiene, and a loving family. She has learned to pray and wait patiently for God's answer. She knows that God's ways are not her ways, and He has a good plan for her. She is grateful to go to school at Rafiki.
