My Name is
Abiba
Abiba
Abiba Ruth's father abandoned her, and her mother is terminally ill. Social services contacted the Rafiki Foundation for assistance, and Ruth arrived at her new home in March of 2008. She quickly began to gain weight and grow physically stronger with the good nutrition, regular meal times, and medical care. Her sense of security also increased as she began to enjoy the daily routine of rest and active play. Biba Ruth enjoys history, especially world history, why wars were started, and the mistakes that human beings have made in the past so that people will learn not to repeat those mistakes. She does well in math, and she is getting help from her teacher in social studies. She has started to learn Luganda and is trying her best to read, write, and speak it fluently. Saturdays in the Village are "speak Luganda" days, and Biba Ruth is an eager learner.
