Pierre
Pierre and his brother first arrived at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in 2012. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment. Pierre is a bright young man with a quick smile. He enjoys helping his friends with their schoolwork and strives to encourage and comfort them when they feel discouraged. Pierre states that he is growing in knowledge and wisdom at the Rafiki School, and he is thankful for his education. He especially enjoys science because it shows him God’s beauty and creativity in creation. He also enjoys caring for gardens which helps him refresh his mind.
