My Name is
Jamesetta
Jamesetta
Jamesetta, her sister, Amelia, and her brother, Jimmy, arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2012. Though they tried, the children's aunt and grandmother could not properly care for them. Jamesetta enjoys learning about math because she enjoys solving challenging problems. She has three ambitions in life: to be the president, to be an agriculturalist, or to be a missionary. As she has studied the Bible at Rafiki, Jamesetta's faith has grown. She knows that God made her for a particular purpose, and that purpose is to serve and praise Him.
