My Name is
Tendo
Tendo
After Tendo and her two sisters, Christina and Peace, were orphaned as small children, they lived with their grandmother for a time. Though their aging grandmother tried to provide for them, it was a struggle, and she asked Rafiki for help. Tendo and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2005. Tendo's favorite subjects are science and math because they are practical subjects. She is interested in becoming a pediatrician. Tendo enjoys playing basketball and creating artwork. Tendo trusts in Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior and seeks to grow in her faith. She desires to serve God for the rest of her life.
