My Name is
Furahini
Furahini
Furahini and her sister Scolastika lived with their grandmother when their mother disappeared. Their grandmother cared for ten children of her own and three grandchildren. She asked if the Rafiki would provide a permanent home for Furahini and Scolastika. Their grandmother was so happy when the girls were moved to the Rafiki Village in 2014. Furahini has a very sunny personality, just as her name means "enjoyment." She loves to learn and to go to school. Nancy is smart and does well in all subjects. She has moved from kindergarten to Grade 1 this term, and suddenly school has become more serious. She has made a good transition and is learning well. Fuahini is an easy child to teach, as she has a desire to learn. She is attentive and cooperative.
