My Name is
Rose
Rose
Rose was brought to a children's home in Moshi, Tanzania in 2008 by a pastor from a local church after she was abandoned by her mother. The children's home contacted the Rafiki Foundation in the hopes of providing a more permanent home and a quality education for her. Rose arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Rose is now a sweet young woman who works hard in school. Rose continues to be thankful for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the guidance He gives her. She says that just as Paul was set apart for the gospel, she would like to be set apart to love and honor God.
