My Name is
Ruth
Ruth
Ruth was placed in the care of her elderly grandparents after her own parents died. Though they tried, they could not care for Ruth's basic needs. Ruth arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya on October 10, 2010. Ruth enjoys learning every subject, but she is most interested in math. She also does well in music class and enjoys drawing. She participates well during class and is always willing to help her friends and teachers. From the Rafiki Bible Study, Ruth has learned that she should give thanks in all circumstances. She continues to grow spiritually as she prays, attends church, and reads her Bible every day.
