My Name is
Patricia

Patricia
Patricia's early life was filled with tragedy; she never knew either of her parents. Her mother died during childbirth and her father was killed in war. A woman was caring for Patricia and her sister, Nancy, but struggled to adequately provide for the girls. Social welfare services contacted the Rafiki Foundation. In February of 2008, Patricia and Nancy arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia. Patricia loves learning about grammar, and she hopes to be either a writer or a musician when she grows up. She is reminded each morning to thank God for giving her life. She loves singing hymns because they teach her about the goodness, mercy, and love of God.
