My Name is
Joanna
Joanna
Joanna is a triplet. Her birth siblings are all girls. Joanna’s mother died shortly after delivering the triplets. The father was without job and could not see a way to care for the triplets, and sought help from Social Welfare. The girls, until placement with Rafiki, were being taken care of by their maternal grandmother and aunts. However the family, because of a lack of finances, felt it was best for all the girls to be in Rafiki’s care. Joanna and her sisters were placed at Rafiki in May 2002.
