My Name is
Abiba
Abiba
Abiba Ruth's father abandoned her, and her mother is terminally ill. Social services contacted the Rafiki Foundation for assistance, and Ruth then arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2008. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at Rafiki. Biba Ruth enjoys history, especially world history, why wars were started, and the mistakes that human beings have made in the past so that people will learn not to repeat those mistakes. She also does well in math class. Her favorite Scripture verse is John 17:3, and she understands that the only way to receive eternal life is through Jesus Christ. Abiba Ruth continually prays to draw closer to Jesus, to grow in faith, and to love others unconditionally.
