Gift
Gift
Gift and her sister, Peace, were orphaned in 2010 when their father died of AIDs. The mother abandoned the family in 2008 and is believed to be dead. An aunt assumed the care of the girls but then appealed to the Rafiki Foundation for help. Gift and Peace were approved and arrived at the Rafiki Village in Uganda on July 22, 2011. Gift's favorite subjects are science and math, and she hopes she will become a teacher of these subjects in the future! In art, Gift has learned that God is an excellent designer who has given people many colors to use when they paint and that He has put everything in their different locations. She recently enjoyed making a paper airplane fly when she studyied force in her science class. Gift is trying to learn how to play the violin. She is also making an effort to master Luganda.
