My Name is
Racheal
Racheal
Rachel's birth mother has never been located. Her father took another wife, abandoned Rachel, and never returned. She was brought to a local babies' home for protection. Social welfare was concerned about her protection and placed her at the Rafiki Village in Uganda. She arrived to her new home 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 favors Luganda, her mother tongue. She likes history because it helps her know about the past and its impact on the present and future. Racheal finds geography and math challenging and is getting help in these subjects. She has understood that Uganda earns its foreign income through the country's natural beauty and tourism. Racheal enjoys art, and she draws and paints whenever she has the opportunity.
