Perpetual
Perpetual
Perpetual’s father had a heart attack at work and died, and her mother died in December 2008 after a lingering illness. Perpetual’s widowed grandmother cared for her after her mother's death. Though she tried, she could not provide for Perpetual's basic needs. She asked Rafiki to care for and protect her granddaughter. Perpetual arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2010. She soon proved to be a funny and lively young woman. Her favorite hymn is "Have Thine Own Way, Lord" because it reminds her that God made her.
