Grace
Grace’s teenage mother gave birth to her and then left the hospital the next morning, abandoning Grace. After that, her mother could not be located.

She is cooperative, respectful, and often selfless. She has learned more about who God is through the Rafiki Bible Study and home devotions. Grace has also become zealous for the Word of God.
