Furahini's name means "enjoyment," and she lives up to her name with her sunny personality. She enjoys school and learning. She loves the Lord and is continually grateful to be at the Rafiki Village Tanzania. She enjoys studying God's Word and singing praises to him with her Rafiki family and classmates.
