Aida
Aida
Aida was referred to the Rafiki Foundation by the Katherine Hines Ministries, a local orphanage in Kampala. She was abandoned by her mother and father and then lived with her grandmother in a remote village. Her grandmother had been widowed twice, and she was caring for four of her grandchildren. She had very limited means and struggled to feed herself and these four children. She asked for help from the Rafiki Foundation. Aida was approved by social welfare and arrived at her new home in July 2009. Aida's favorite subjects are English, math, and science. She pays more attention to vocabulary, spelling, and long division because they are her weaker areas. She has learned that God has made her for a purpose, that He has given people dominion over animals, and that He is a God of order. Aida is taking singing classes with Teacher Nicole, who is originally from Burundi.
