Rachel
Rachel’s parents died from a terminal illness. She lived with her grandmother along with three other siblings. Her grandmother worked as a laborer to earn money for food and for school fees for the older children. 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. She arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania 2011. Rachel is an excellent student. She is a great reader, which helps her in all her other subjects. She made nearly all A's and B's this first term of Grade 5. Rachel has recently taken up playing basketball, and it is amazing to watch her play. She is quick and dribbles like a pro, and she is good at making baskets despite her short stature. It will be fun to watch her develop in this sport.
