My Name is
Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer and her twin sisters lived with their aunt and her family after the death of their parents. Though she tried, their aunt was unable to feed her own two children and her brother’s children. She asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Jennifer and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. Jennifer is a creative and funny young woman. She loves to draw and create artwork. From the Rafiki Bible Study, she has learned that she needs to be morally sober and spiritually awake as a child of God. Her favorite hymn is "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah" because it reminds her how much Jesus cares for her and how he guides her in so many ways.
