Anna
After Anna’s mother died in July of 2005, all of the children came to live with their maternal aunt who was a mother’s assistant at Rafiki. The care of them along with her own children was too much and she requested that Rafiki take the two younger children. Anna and her sister Elizabeth came to the Village in 2006. Anna says she is taking a lot of new subjects this year (grade 10). She excels in civics and art. Her history teacher inspires her by his practical teaching style. Anna deems education valuable, as it affords her knowledge of unknown things and shows her how to apply that knowledge in her life. New ideas and new people spark in her a desire to learn even more.
