Rachel
Rachel’s parents died from a terminal illness. After they died, she lived with her grandmother along with three other siblings. She could not afford to send Rachel to school and struggled to care for all the children. She asked if Rafiki could care for Rachel, provide good health care, and educate her. Rachel arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania 2011. Rachel is now an excellent student. She is a great reader, which helps her in all her other subjects. Rachel also enjoys playing basketball, and it is fun for others to watch her play. She is quick and dribbles like a pro, and she is good at making baskets despite her short stature. As she learns new things about God and reads her Bible, Rachel continues to grow strong in her faith. She enjoys worshiping God and singing hymns.
