Emily
Emily
Emily came from the care of an aunt and uncle where she spent days alone without any food. Since coming to Rafiki, she has blossomed. Though she has a quiet spirit, her face radiates with joy when she feels loved and secure. Emily says that her favorite subjects are Math and Science and has maintained her interest in becoming a nurse someday, but is now considering that she could set a higher goal to become a physician.
