Jamesetta
Jamesetta
Jamesetta and her sister, Amelia, and brother Jimmy, arrived at the Rafiki Village in October of 2012. They are dearly loved by their grandmother and aunt who cared for them but they sought help from Rafiki because the family knew that due to their circumstances they would not have the means to care for the children. Their church and neighbors helped this family but still the children were not getting enough to eat. Jamesetta enjoys learning about math because she likes to solve challenging problems. She has three ambitions in life: to be the president, to an agriculturalist, or to be a missionary.
