Doreen
Doreen
Doreen’s mother abandoned her in 2011, and her father is unknown. She then lived with her great-grandmother, a widow in poor health who had very little resources to care for her. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted, and Doreen arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2013. Doreen is thankful for God’s protection and for his provision of a good home and education. She loves to sing, and is good at memorizing Scripture verses. She strives to study diligently in school so that she can be a successful contributor to her community as she grows. Doreen’s favorite classes are civics and Kiswahili because they teach her more about her own country. She shows love to her friends by helping them when they are in need, and she hopes to learn how to style hair so she can serve them in that way. Doreen prays that she will grow in peace and love, and she regularly prays for her teachers, friends, Rafiki parents, and sponsors.
