My Name is
Gift

Gift
Gift and her sister, Peace, were orphaned in 2010 when their father died of AIDs. Their mother abandoned the family in 2008 and is believed to be dead. The girls lived with their aunt for a time before she asked Rafiki for help. Gift and Peace were approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village in Uganda in 2011. Gift's favorite subjects are science and math, and she hopes she will become a math and science teacher in the future! She enjoys music and playing the guitar and violin. Gift is grateful that God is merciful and ready to forgive her when she confesses her sins. She continues to ask the Lord to reveal Himself to her as she studies his Word.
