My Name is
Joyce

Joyce
Very little is known about Joyce’s life before Rafiki. At two years old, she was found wandering the streets by a probation officer in 2006. She was then taken to a local hospital in Uganda. They investigated her situation thoroughly and were not able to trace any family, so they referred her to the Rafiki Village Uganda. She arrived at the Village in 2006. Joyce enjoys playing dodge ball and jumping rope with her friends. She looks forward to science experiments in the laboratory. She sees God in science because He created all living things and organisms. Joyce understands that while she was still a sinner, Christ died for her. She loves that nothing can separate her from God's love.
