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. Joseph's grandparents were taking care of thirteen children and both Joseph and Marie were very malnourished. Social welfare recommended that the children be placed at the Rafiki Village Rwanda, and the grandparents were grateful. Joseph and his sister arrived at the Village in 2009. Now, Joseph continues to grow in his faith. He reads his Bible daily and enjoys studying the Bible through the Rafiki Bible Study. He also strives to be diligent in his prayer life and enjoys attending church service each Sunday.
