My Name is
Tabitha
Tabitha
Both of Tabitha’s parents died before she was four years old, leaving her and her four older brothers and sisters as orphans. She lived with her uncle who had eight children of his own and cared for aged grandparents. The uncle was unable to care for Tabitha and his children, and he desired a better life for Tabitha. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Tabitha is a diligent student who enjoys school. She is usually on the Honor Roll or the Headmaster's Honor Roll. She thinks education is valuable and can be used to enhance God's kingdom. This reflects that she has learned to look at things from a biblical worldview, which is a key component in classical Christian education. Tabitha seeks to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
