Lusia
Lusia
Lusia lived with her aunt after the death of her mother. Her aunt had three children of her own and no husband, so was having a difficult time trying to provide for Lusia. She contacted Rafiki for help. Luisa arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2011. Lusia is a good student and obeys her teachers and her mother. She enjoys school and the interaction with the other children. Lusia has a good mind and will continue to do well in her education. Each grade gets a bit more difficult but Lusia is learning to be a lifelong learner and not to give up. Lusia has a good learning attitude and that will take her far.
