Juliet
Juliet
Juliet Faith was found abandoned in a remote area outside of Nairobi, Kenya. A Good Samaritan cared for her until she was taken to a children's home. They contacted the Rafiki Foundation for long-term care for Juliet. She was welcomed to her new home by her Rafiki Mother, Esther, and her new cottage sisters in 2014. At the time, she liked holding hands with the girls and pointing to many things and saying, "What is this?" Now, Juliet is positive and enjoys participating in class activities. Her friends love her for her lovely character. She is good in Math, Bible, Science, Spelling, Penmanship, and Kiswahili classes. She loves to draw and color, and she has good moral values. She can struggle to concentrate in class and can be easily distracted, but she has grown in her handwriting and speech skills.
