Aneth
Aneth and her cousin Adella came to live at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2005. Now in Grade 7, Aneth took her Grade 7 national exam in September of 2017 and scored well with A's and B's in all subjects. This is quite a milestone for Tanzanian students, and the Rafiki students all did well. Aneth has high goals for her educational future and although she is doing well at school, she needs to put in even more effort on her national subjects to do well on the Tanzanian tests for the future. Aneth has recently begun to play basketball, and it is a huge joy for her to do this. She is good at the sport, and it teaches her team play.
