She was referred to the Rafiki Foundation by social welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2005. Leah shows an interest in language arts, especially literature and writing. She also enjoys playing soccer. She has learned that Christians should not grow weary of doing good and should pray without ceasing.
