My Name is
Beatrice
Beatrice
Beatrice’s mother was mentally ill and living on the streets. Due to her mental state, Beatrice's mother neglected her and her sister, Adwoa, completely. Social welfare services determined that it was best for the girls to live at the Rafiki Village Ghana, and they arrived in 2003. Beatrice continues to mature into a patient young woman. She enjoys helping people and loves bringing joy to others. Through the Rafiki Bible Study, she has gained a strong foundation of biblical knowledge and she has a wealth of hymns in her mind. Beatrice prays that her faith will grow stronger and that she will use her time wisely.
