Racheal
Rachel's birth mother has never been located. Her father took another wife, abandoned Rachel, and never returned. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda on June 8, 2005. She now enjoys a fulfilling life at the village. Racheal's favorite subject is biology because she gets to learn about God's environment. She recognizes that God has given her many gifts and that she must exercise them for His glory.
