The father of Nancy died before she reached four years of age and her mother has died from a fatal illness. Before her mother's death she wanted her daughter to be in a safe place.

The child arrived to her new home in January 2007 and joined her new family complete with a Rafiki Mother and several siblings. Nancy recently enjoyed participating in a dramatic re-telling of the story of Ali Baba. According to her teacher, she is self-motivated and sets very high standards for all of her work. She is an extremely well-rounded student.
