My Name is
Peace
Peace
Peace and her sister, Gift, were orphaned in 2010 when their father died of AIDs. Her mother abandoned the family in 2008 and has not been seen or heard from since that time. An aunt assumed the girls' care but appealed to the Rafiki Foundation for help. Peace and Gift were approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village in Uganda in 2011. Now, Peace's favorite subjects are math and science. She knows that they will help her succeed in the future. Peace has made a commitment to love Jesus even in hard times. She wants to imitate Jesus in working hard in everything she does and helping others. Peace continues to pray for diligence in Bible reading and her studies.
