My Name is
Anne
Anne
Anne’s mother is physically handicapped and depends entirely on her mother for her care. Anne’s grandmother was caring for Anne, her brother, and their mother. Anne’s grandmother is a firewood vendor and mostly depends on people of good will for food and other basic needs. The needs in the home are overwhelming, and The Rafiki Foundation was contacted and asked to assume the care of Anne. She was approved and moved to her new home at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2009. She quickly adjusted to her new life and became excited about attending school. Anne has a quiet personality, but she has been trying to share her thoughts when called upon in class. She does well in Math and Language Arts. She is responsible and turns in her work in a timely manner. She usually succeeds in Scripture memory. She continues to grow in expressing her thoughts more confidently to her teachers and peers.
