My Name is
Sensee
Sensee
Sensee’s mother died three days after giving birth to her and her father passed away in 2008. After the death of her parents, she lived with her uncle. Though he tried, he and his wife struggled to provide for Sensee and their own children. They appealed to the Rafiki Foundation for help, and Sensee arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. Sensee has a soft heart and enjoys serving others. She excels in school and especially enjoys studying science and learning about how things work. She also enjoys writing stories, performing dramas, and singing. Her favorite part of each day is when she spends time in God’s Word. Sensee prays that she will continue to grow in her faith and have opportunities to share God’s Word with others.
