Judith
Judith
Judith’s father died in 2008 and her mother died in 2009. After that, she lived with her grandmother. There were seven people already living in the home. The family was sometimes able to eat everyday but not always. They asked The Rafiki Foundation for help. Judith joined the Rafiki Village Zambia in August 2010. Judith is currently in grade 9. Judith says of herself, "I am understanding that my school time and education are terrific and wonderful! I am strong in math and spelling, and I have really improved." Judith is a strong student and is on the A/B honor roll. She enjoys reading, and when her homework has been prepared, she readily has a book in hand. While Judith is doing fine with her subjects, she has not yet learned to be self-directed in her studies or go "above and beyond" what is expected. She is capable of more than she realizes.
