My Name is
Kwame
Kwame
Kwame’s grandfather cared for him after the death of his parents in 2010. His grandfather is elderly and did not have the means to care for Kwame. He was brought to the Rafiki Village in Ghana in March 2011, where he has a new home and family. His grandfather is pleased that Kwame will have excellent care and receive a good education. Kwame is a very sweet and sensitive little boy. He is quiet and shy, but has the sweetest smile when he opens up!
