My Name is
Catherine
Catherine
Catherine was abandoned immediately after she was born. The hospital social worker reported the case to the police for investigation. They were not able to trace her mother. Catherine was placed at a home for abandoned babies. After two years without being adopted, the home contacted Rafiki. Catherine arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya 2007. She soon proved to be neat, cooperative, and polite even when things are challenging. She listens attentively to instructions and other students' responses. She is compassionate to her peers, conducts herself maturely, and cooperates consistently with teachers and students. As she studies God's Word, she has begun to see the fruit of the spirit in her life.
