My Name is
Janet
Janet
Janet is a triplet. Her mother died shortly after delivering her and her two sisters, and her father abandoned them. The girls then lived with their maternal grandmother. Though she tried, her grandmother could not provide for the girls' basic needs. Janet and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Rafiki Village. God's faithfulness encourages Janet to rely on Him to make beauty out of the trials in her life. Janet sees joy as the most prevalent fruit of the spirit in her life, and she strives to show others that joy and love.
