Esther
Esther
When Esther’s parents passed away, she was placed in the care of her impoverished grandmother. Though she tried, her grandmother could not properly care for Esther. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in August 2006. Esther professed faith in Christ in 2010. She does well in school, hopes to go to university, and shows interest and enthusiasm in every learning. She always enjoys her lessons, but she especially likes and excels in Kiswahili and Biology lessons. She has great potential for achieving the goals she sets out for herself. She is learning that she should be an imitator of Christ and His gospel.
