Afia
Afia
Afia’s mother and father died in 2006. A guardian took Afia to his home to feed and care for her. Because of a drought in the area, he was unable to feed and provide for Afia. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted about the care of Afia. She has moved to her new home at Rafiki Village Ghana in October 2009. Afia is naturally intelligent with a desire to learn, and loves to read and ask questions. Afia particularly enjoys music and art, and loves to dance anytime she hears music.
