Olivia
Olivia
Olivia and her twin sister Gloria were given over to their uncle after their father died. Her uncle had sixteen children of his own and three other orphaned children to care for. Because he was unable to care for the twins properly, he applied to social services for help and Rafiki Foundation was contacted. Olivia and her sister arrived at the village in 2008. Olivia now enjoys a hopeful future and a loving Rafiki family! Olivia's favorite subjects are math and science because they are practical subjects. Whenever she solves algebraic expressions, she is intrigued by God's logic and orderliness. Olivia has asked for assistance with social studies, history, and language arts. She is reading as widely as time permits to get caught up with these weaker subjects. She understands that the process of education can sometimes be bitter, but the fruit of education is sweet. When Olivia relaxes from her studies, she likes to do so by drawing and painting.
