Eves
Eves
Eves was a loving four-year-old who had lost her mother during birth and her father from an illness. She was in the care of an aunt who had many children to care for and little food, resulting in only one meal a day. Eves came to us a malnourished child. She adjusted well to her new diet and grew out of her new clothes quickly. She came to Rafiki Village Malawi in April 2007, bonding well with the Rafiki Mother and siblings. The students are especially enjoying the big classrooms and the laboratory for chemistry. During the last term break, Eves participated in Career Days and heard from a doctor, an accountant, and other professionals about the benefits and requirements of various career options. She works hard in her studies and especially likes Science classes. She does well in Language Arts and likes to help her classmates study.
