My Name is
Mary
Mary
Mary lived in the A. I. Children's Home in Kitui before coming to Rafiki. Her parents are unknown, and no other relatives could care for her. She arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2004. Mary is thoroughly enjoying her Food and Beverage Production certificate course work at Nairobi Institute of Business Studies. It is an 18-month course. If she does well, she can continue with a diploma program. She lives on campus in a very small room for 8 girls, but she has adapted. She enjoys going to the chapel there and has even played her flute for worship! She is also part of the Christian Union.
