Gladys
Gladys
Gladys is a double orphan. Her mother died in 2006, and her father died in 2007. Her aunt was caring for her as well as four other people in a small rented home. Though she tried, her aunt could not properly care for her needs and asked social welfare for help. Gladys was approved and now has a new home at the Rafiki Village Zambia. Gladys is eager to learn and does well in all subjects in school. She has a gift for drawing and art. Her favorite Bible reading comes from Ecclesiastes because it talks about wisdom and how there is a time for everything.
