Eric
Eric
After the mother died, Eric and his older brother Eliya were in the care of their aunt. The father has also died. The aunt had four children of her own, was due to give birth to a fifth child, and could not continue to care for the brothers. After an investigation, Social Welfare gave approval for the boys to be placed at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in May 2010. They have thrived well in their new environment with nutritious food, beds of their own, and the opportunity to attend school.
