Mitchiel
Mitchiel
Mitchiel was brought to the Nairobi Children’s Home in May 2001 by the local police after her mentally ill mother was placed in a psychiatric hospital. Mitchiel came home to Rafiki Village Kenya in November 2003. Mitchiel always contributes well in classroom discussions, especially in Bible lessons, and she enjoys learning every subject. She has a good sense of humor in class, which makes the lesson more enjoyable for everyone. She completes her assignments in the allotted time and does strong work in all areas. She always tries to be attentive and well-mannered, but sometimes she struggles to grasp new ideas in her reading.
