Dorine
Dorine
Dorine and her twin sister Irene were living with their paternal grandmother who was very poor and could not give the girls their basic needs. The mother and father abandoned the children. Social Welfare visited the home and found the girls in poor health, sick with malaria, and receiving only tea for sustenance. Dorine and Irene arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Dorine is a sweet girl with a good aptitude for learning. She is focused on her work and enjoys school. Dorine is having a big transition from Grade 3 to Grade 4, as do most children. Now school has become serious and a bit of work. Dorine also has found a love for basketball, and she is quite good at it even at her young age. She is great at running and handling the ball, and she even makes baskets frequently. Rafiki now has a basketball team with a coach, and Dorine is happy for the outlet for physical activity. Dorine will be taking her Grade 4 national exams in the fall, so needs to focus on her national subjects this next term. She is a good student and will do well.
