Alice
Alice
Alice’s father died and her mother followed in July 2005. Her grandparents were deceased as well. Alice was left in the care of her eighteen-year-old brother. He was overwhelmed because he had to care for three other siblings. He approached African Inland Church Baby Home to assist him with Alice. Alice was admitted to that home on May 5, 2006. She arrived at the Rafiki Village on July 4, 2006, and quickly bonded with her Rafiki Mother, Ruth. She was clinging to her by the afternoon! Alice is calm and enjoys Language Arts, especially reading and literature. She enjoys Physical Education lessons, especially in soccer. She likes practical lessons in Science. She is academically average, is respectful, and caring. She is growing in endurance, responsibility, and self-esteem.
