Catherine
Catherine was found wandering the streets of her village when she was approximately two years old. She was brought to the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2003. Catherine loves reading the Bible every day, and it is her source of inspiration and encouragement. From the time she was young, she was very prayerful and quick to be kind, obedient, and loving. Catherine is always eager to learn, and she is independent and curious. She continues to pray that she would please God in everything and be a godly example to others.
