My Name is
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
When Emmanuel was six months old, his mother took him to visit her cousin. After two days, she left without telling anyone, abandoning Emmanuel. No one has seen or heard from his biological mother since that time, and his father is unknown. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. His health rapidly improved after moving to the Village, thanks to a good diet and stable home environment. Emmanuel is confident that God is with him in all things, and he knows that God brought him to Rafiki. He is thankful for the opportunity to learn, study God's Word, and now share with his extended relatives who God is.
