Eric
Eric
After his mother died, Eric and his older brother, Eliya, were placed in the care of their aunt. Their father also died. The boys' 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. The boys arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2010. They soon began to thrive in their new environment with nutritious food, beds of their own, and the opportunity to attend school. Eric enjoys studying the Bible. From studying Paul's letters, he learned about imitating Paul as he imitated Christ. Eric continues to grow as he seeks to read his Bible, attend church, and pray.
