Miriam
Miriam
Miriam was found at a local market in the Machakos district of Kenya. She was then placed in a babies’ home, and no one came to check on her or claim her. Social services recommended that she be placed in a more permanent setting and referred her to the Rafiki Village in Kenya. Miriam arrived in September 2005 to her new Rafiki family. One of her first events was to go to church with her Rafiki family and be introduced to the congregation! All the members were thrilled to see this new addition to Rafiki. Now, Miriam is self-motivated, disciplined, obedient, and is very good at Math and Health Hygiene topics. She cooperates and is actively engaged in class. She enjoys soccer and volleyball, and she enthusiastically strives to reach her full potential.
