Rachel
Rachel
Rachael lost both of her parents to an illness when she was two years old. She lives with her aunt who cares for six orphans and five of her own children. She does not have the resources to care for all of these children. Social service has asked Rafiki to take over the care of Rachael. She came to the Rafiki village Malawi very shy but is now growing to be more talkative and playful each day. She has bonded well with her new brothers and sisters and is feeling more and more at home at Rafiki. During the last term break, Rachel participated in Career Days and heard from a doctor, an accountant, and other professionals regarding possible career choices. She excels in Geography and Language Arts.
