Lillian
Lillian
Lillian lost both her parents to AIDS. One parent died in 2003 and the other in 2004. She was placed in the care of her impoverished aunt but the burden of caring for the child became overwhelming because of the nine other children she was caring for in her home. Lillian was referred by social welfare to the Rafiki Village in Uganda where she is now learning and thriving. She enjoys learning about East African history and knows that God is in history, shaping events and lives. She loves Bible classes and understands that she has the privilege to tell others about Jesus. Lillian is getting help for math from her teachers and classmates. She was thankful to be able to handle a microscope in order to examine mold on old bread and to look at the details of leaves and flowers.
