Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer is one of three triplets. Her mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her, Janet, and Joanna. The father is unemployed and is not capable of caring for the girls. Their grandmother, with help from several young women, cared for the triplets. The village fathers asked for assistance in finding a home for the girls. The triplets and their brother John came to Rafiki Village Ghana in June 2002. Jennifer is a true athlete and seems the most joyful when playing in a game of soccer!
