Irene
Irene
Irene and her twin sister Dorine were living with their paternal grandmother who was poor and could not provide the girls' basic needs. Social Welfare visited the home and found the girls in poor health, sick with malaria, and receiving only tea for sustenance. Irene and Dorine have lived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania since 2012. Irene is a small girl who is transitioning from Grade 3 to Grade 4. This is a hard transition for all children, as they must now learn to be serious about their school work. Irene has a good mind and can do well. She is also studying for her Grade 4 national exams coming up in the fall, so she needs to concentrate on her national subjects most of all. Irene does value her Rafiki education and is learning that to make the most of the opportunity, she has to be serious at school and complete her homework.
