My Name is
Beatrice

Beatrice
After both Beatrice's parents died, she lived with her grandparents and four brothers and sisters for a time. Though they tried, her grandparents could not provide for Beatrice's basic needs. They requested help from Rafiki. Beatrice arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. She now enjoys school and her studies. Beatrice is quiet, cooperative, and focused in class. She is also an excellent tennis player. She works hard at all she does, and she enjoys reading in her free time. Beatrice continues to learn to be thankful in all circumstances, and her prayer life has helped her become closer to God.
