Ellen
Ellen’s mother gave birth to her and her twin, Helen, on June 23, 2000. In November of 2002, her mother gave birth again, this time to triplets. Less than two months later the mother developed severe chest pains and was admitted to a hospital, where she passed away. The father asked social welfare for assistance for these girls, as well as the triplets. The girls arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in March 2003. Ellen has a passion for dancing and frequently performs in dances choreographed by the older girls.
