Blessed
Blessed
Blessed’s mother abandoned her 4 days after birth at the Kakamega Provincial General Hospital. The hospital social worker reported the case to the police for investigation. The police were not able to trace the mother. She was admitted to a babies's home that then contacted Rafiki. Blessed joined Rafiki in March 2007, and is now in a family with a mother, brothers, and sisters! Blessed is one of the most organized girls in her class and has a well-developed vocabulary. She writes clearly and with purpose; she also reads stories she has written to the class. Her best subjects are Math and Science, and she puts great effort into her assignments. She can struggle with accuracy in homework, but she takes on necessary roles in group work well.
