My Name is
Beatrice

Beatrice
Beatrice’s parents died of a terminal illness shortly after she was born, and she was put in the care of her grandmother. Beatrice's grandmother was a subsistence farmer, and she struggled to provide for and take care of her granddaughter. She was thrilled when Beatrice was able to move to the Rafiki Village Zambia in September 2014. Beatrice enjoys singing, reading, and playing football (American soccer) with her friends. She knows that Jesus died for her, and she believes that He is her personal Savior. Beatrice often thanks God for creating her and asks Him to keep her and guide her. Her favorite hymn is "Jesus Paid it All."
