My Name is
Lucia
Lucia
Lucia’s mother came to a local hospital alone with the newborn. The mother was very ill with AIDS and died at the hospital. After being placed with temporary caregivers, Lucia was then placed at a babies’ home. When all the preliminary paperwork was finalized for her transfer, she was then assigned to the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2005. Lucia is often excited about learning new vocabulary in English and Kiswahili. Her favorite subjects are Language Arts and Science. She enhances group discussion through her insightful comments. Her reading fluency and speed has improved, probably because of her increased library reading! She struggles with understanding large amounts of data, which makes Science difficult, but her memorization skills are good.
