Patience
Patience
Patience was abandoned by her mother in 2005 and the father cared for her until he died in 2008. The uncle of Patience took her into his home with his own six children and wife. Unable to care for Patience and his own family adequately, he contacted Rafiki Foundation. In March 2009 Patience came to live at Village. From the beginning she has been eager to read and listened very closely to her Rafiki mother during story time in her cottage. Patience loves learning about all her different subjects because she loves her friends and her teachers at school. She doesn't know exactly what she wants to do when she grows up, but she is trusting and relying on the Lord to show her the way.
