Jane
Before coming to Rafiki, Jane lived with her mother who was epileptic and mentally unstable. They both lived with Jane's grandmother who did not have the means to care for them. We are thankful that Jane’s situation was brought to the attention of a caring woman who made an appeal to Rafiki. Jane arrived at Rafiki Village Kenya in September 2015. She is happy and thriving in her new life. Jane loves Music and Art. Her cursive penmanship is excellent! She has a good sense of humor, and she has grown in how she expresses her ideas. She is struggling with reading words, sentences, and stories. She also struggles with grammar construction, but she is continuing to learn.
