Emelyne
Emelyne
Emelyne was brought to her elderly grandmother after both her parents died. Her grandmother was taking care of two other children at the time. Though she tried, her grandmother struggled to care for the children and asked for help from the Rafiki Foundation. Emelyne was placed at the Rafiki Village in Rwanda. She was soon healthy and happy in her new home. Emelyne has learned how to pray and be grateful for the blessings she has received. She seeks to find refuge in God's Word when she has a struggle, knowing that she will find peace and wisdom.
