Pross
Pross
Prossy lost her father to AIDS at age four. Her mother was unable to care for her because she was mentally ill. She was placed in the care of her impoverished who could not care for her. Social welfare, because of their concern for the child’s health and development, referred her to the Rafiki Village in Uganda. She joined our Rafiki family in December 2006. She now enjoys her home with her Rafiki mother and siblings. Prossy's favorite subject is Bible. She loves the truth that God is holy, mighty, and loving. She is excellent at art and drawing, and she uses color very effectively in all of her artwork. She appreciates God as the greatest artist of all. In her math classes, she has learned that God is a God of numbers and order. In her Luganda classes, she has learned a Luganda phrase that translates into "The process of education is bitter, but the fruit of education is sweet."
