My Name is
Lusia
Lusia
After Lusia's mother died, she lived with her aunt. Her aunt had three children of her own and no husband, so she struggled to provide for Lusia and contacted Rafiki for help. Luisa arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2011. Lusia is now a good student. She enjoys school and learning with other Rafiki students. She has a good attitude towards learning and a strong work ethic. As she continues to grow in her faith, Lusia sees the Lord guiding her decisions. She likes Romans 8:31 because it reminds her that God is always with her.
