My Name is
Janet
Janet
Janet is one of three triplets. She and her sisters, Jennifer and Joanna, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Rafiki Village. In her free time, Janet enjoys playing guitar, reading, and listening to the radio. She is also a good soccer player and plays on her university’s soccer team. Janet knows that many ladies older than she have much wisdom to share and she has sought their counsel over the years. One thing she has learned from them is the importance of her relationship with God. Janet prays that she will remain firm in her faith and that she will remember that the Lord is in control of all things.
