My Name is
Celestina
Celestina
Celestina and her sister arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. Celestina is a creative and enthusiastic young woman, and she is also an excellent dancer. It brings her great joy to make things look beautiful and she hopes to become a beautician or an event decorator once she completes her schooling. Her favorite part of each day is morning because God has gifted her with a new day. Celestina prays that she will be respectful and obedient, be diligent in reading God’s Word daily, and grow in her love for Christ.
