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 on January 6, 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 Rafiki Village Uganda. She arrived to her new home, complete with her Rafiki Mother and several new sisters, in March 2006. Joyce enjoys playing dodge ball and jumping rope with her family. She looks forward to science experiments in the laboratory. She recalls an experiment where she examined mold features on old bread using a microscope. She finds God in science because He created all living things and organisms. Joyce struggles with history because she finds it difficult to remember dates and events. She is learning to write in cursive and desires to master the skill.
