My Name is
Hannah
Hannah
Hannah was abandoned at a hospital shortly after her birth. In 2006, she arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya when she was not yet six months old. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Hannah works diligently in school and enjoys reading and cooking. Her favorite part of each day is attending class because she sees students helping each other and she learns more about the world God created. After her schooling, she hopes to become a news anchor and make movies. Hannah prays that she will use her time wisely, that God will grant her patience, and that she will be a good role model to the other children at the Rafiki Village.
