My Name is
Flavia
Flavia
Flavia and her three siblings were living in a situation that required immediate intervention according to Ugandan social welfare. Their father died in July 2006 from complications due to AIDS, and their mother was also HIV+ and not expected to live long. The children are all HIV negative, but they were very thin and anemic when they were found. All four children arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. Flavia's favorite Luganda, a traditional language, phrase is "okwetegekera ebiseera ebyomu maaso," which means "prepare yourself for the future." Flavia understands that God is preparing her for a strong future through the Rafiki classical Christian curriculum. She does well in English language arts and math. Flavia strives to love others well like her Lord and Savior.
