My Name is
Laurine
Laurine
Laurine’s parents were both died in 2006. She had a maternal grandmother who was ninety-seven years old at the time, and was caring for two of her great grandchildren (a boy aged ten and Laurine). The grandmother was unable to care for them but no one else wanted them. In view of this situation, social service has asked Rafiki to intervene in the life of Laurine. As she has come to live at her new home at the Rafiki Village Malawi, she radiates with joy and has embraced her new life. Laurine enjoyed competing in our recent Academic Challenge, and she attended Career Days where an accountant, a physician, and other professionals spoke about the benefits and requirements of various career options. She is increasing her participation in class and enjoys discussion groups.
