Gladys
Gladys
Gladys and her twin, Priscilla, as well as their sister, Erica, became orphans after their parents died within a year after Erica’s birth. Their widowed grandmother is unable to care for the three girls. She is a yam and maize farmer caring for seven of her own children. Social welfare asked Rafiki to assume the care of these three girls. Gladys arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ghana in October 2009. She is quite athletic and is often found playing soccer with the boys in her class.
