Marie
After the death of their parents, Marie and her brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2009. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and family environment at the Village. Marie spent her younger years at the Village and in 2019, she was placed in a loving home. She continues to attend the Rafiki School as a day student and enjoys her classes there. Marie is musically inclined and enjoys singing and hopes to learn piano and drums. After she graduates, she plans to become a famous singer and use her platform to spread the gospel. Marie prays that she will walk with integrity each day, be hospitable, loving, and kind to those around her, and remain humble and obedient.
