My Name is
Joseph
Joseph
Joseph is a double orphan. His father died in 2006 of an illness and his mother died a year later. Joseph and his sister, Marie, lived with their grandparents after their parents died. The grandparents were taking care of thirteen children and both Joseph and Marie were very malnourished. Social welfare recommended that the children be placed at Rafiki Village Rwanda and the grandparents were grateful. They know that now their grandchildren will be given a future and a hope.
