My Name is
Harriet
Harriet
Harriet's father passed away from AIDs, and her mother was also diagnosed HIV+ and was no longer able to care for her. Without a relative to raise her, her family contacted social services. They asked Rafiki Foundation to intervene on Harriet's behalf and to give her a hopeful future. She arrived at her new home in 2008. She now enjoys living and learning with her Rafiki family. In a recent science lesson, Harriet learned about how to take care of her body, especially her skin, which can become susceptible to disease and infections. She does well in science, math, English, and logic. She strives to study harder in her weaker subjects: Luganda and social studies. Harriet is thankful that God is living and that she has a way to communicate with Him through prayer and the reading of His Word.
