My Name is
Grace
Grace
Grace’s teenage mother gave birth and then left the hospital the next morning, abandoning the child. A social worker checked the mother’s location and name with the village elder, and there was no one by that name in that area. After the necessary legal processes were fulfilled, Grace came to Rafiki Village Kenya in May 2004. Grace is now a hard-working girl who shows interest in overall learning. She likes Math (algebra and financial arithmetic), and Literature (grammar and reading). She is above-average academically. She is cooperative, respectful, generally calm, and shows unselfish love toward others. Her self-esteem is also continuing to improve.
