My Name is
Elizabeth

Elizabeth
After Elizabeth’s mother died in July of 2005, her children came to live with their maternal aunt who worked as a mother’s assistant at the Rafiki Village Nigeria. She requested that the Rafiki Foundation take the two younger children as permanent residents. Elizabeth and her sister, Anna, came to live at the Village in 2006. Elizabeth is an excellent student. She values education because it teaches rationality and lays a pattern for good problem-solving. Elizabeth is loving the Lord more each day as she becomes more attuned to His revealed Word. She is very appreciative of what God has done in her life and what He is continuing to do. Elizabeth marvels at God's holiness, and she wants to be holy also.
