Joanna
Joanna is one of three triplets. She and her sisters, Jennifer and Janet, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. In her free time, Joanna enjoys listening to music and reflecting on the lyrics. Music gives her great joy and she is always eager to learn a new hymn. Joanna sees that God has been faithful to her in guiding her for many years. She is learning more about kindness and is quick to offer help when she sees someone in need. Joanna seeks to help others know God by sharing his Word and encouraging them in their personal devotions. Joanna prays that she will always be respectful to others and love God’s Word more each day.
