Ndidi
Ndidi
Ndidi is orphaned having lost her father in 2005 and her mother in 2008. She and her younger brother were living with their great grandmother, an elderly widow. She could not care for the children. Social Service interviewed the children and family members and determined that she should be placed in the care of the Rafiki Foundation. Ndidi thrived in her new environment with nutritious food, a bed of her own, and the opportunity to attend school. Now she is in grade 8 and is a good student who has mostly A's and B's on her midterm progress report. She says her most improved subject is math because she now enjoys solving the problems. Mr. Rinti, who teaches history, taught her to look to God as her source of everything in life. She would like to become an orthopedic surgeon
