Valante
Valante
The mother of Valante died of complications while giving birth to him. His father died shortly thereafter. An aunt was called to take care of Valante. She was unable to continue caring for Valante as she has four children of her own. After looking into the situation, Social Welfare gave approval for Valante to be placed at the Rafiki Village Rwanda in May 2010. He has thrived very well in his new environment. Valante is a quiet little boy, often a peacemaker, and loves art in school.
