Hilda
Hilda
Hilda was abandoned when she was two years old. A good Samaritan brought her to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center hospital in October 2009. She had multiple skin lesions on her arms, legs, and head where she had been cut. Hilda was brought to Neema Orphanage shortly after being seen at KCMC in 2009. The orphanage contacted the Rafiki Foundation for long term care and education for Hilda. She arrived at her new home, Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Hilda is a sweet girl who struggles with learning. She is well behaved and never causes problems in her class. She is shy and quiet most of the time. She is improving in all her subjects this first term of Grade 5. She made an A in spelling for the first time ever, which indicates tremendous work on her part. Hilda is learning that education is something we have to work very hard for. We are so thankful that Hilda has chosen to be the best she can!
