Priscilla
Priscilla and her twin, Gladys, as well as their sister, Erica, became orphans after their parents died within a year after Erica’s birth. Their widowed grandmother is unable to care for the three girls. She is a yam and maize farmer caring for seven of her own children. Social welfare asked Rafiki to assume the care of these three girls. Priscilla arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ghana in October 2009. She is one of the sweetest children at Rafiki Village Ghana.
