Rebecca
Rebecca
Rebecca's father died of an illness in 2003, and her mother also died in 2009. Rebecca arrived at the Rafiki Village in Tanzania a year later. Rebecca is now an excellent student who is diligent in her school work. She is respectful and kind at home and at school. One day when discussing the moon landing, Rebecca asked who was the first person on the moon. When she heard it was a man, she said, "Well, I will be the first woman on the moon!"Rebecca says that when she feels lonely, afraid, or sad, she pours out her heart to the Lord in prayer and He comforts her.
