My Name is
Florence
Florence
Florence was living with her mother who is dying from an illness. Her father is no longer living. She and her mother were barely surviving on food grown in their small garden. This case was reported to Social Welfare by the child’s uncle. Social Welfare and the child’s mother felt it was best for Florence to be referred to Rafiki. It is often a great comfort to the dying parent to know their child will be well cared for after the parent is gone. Florence is a team player and enjoys helping her classmates who are struggling in various subjects. She is an encourager and planner, preparing for class by completing her homework and reminding others to do so as well, but she is a bit reluctant to participate during class debates.
