Emmanuel
Emmanuel
There are no family members who are able to care for Emmanuel. After an investigation, Social Welfare gave approval for Emmanuel to be placed at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in May 2010. He has thrived well in his new environment with nutritious food, a bed of his own, a loving Rafiki mother and siblings who love have family devotions together in their Rafiki cottage. He attends school and has a bright future and hope, but more importantly, the knowledge of a God who cares for Emmanuel.
