Rebecca
Rebecca's father died of an illness in 2003 and her mother in 2009. At that time she went to live with her grandparents. They were elderly and struggled to provide for her. They asked Rafiki for help. In 2010 Rebecca arrived at the Rafiki Village in Tanzania. Rebecca is an excellent student who is diligent in her school work. Rebecca is preparing for her Grade 7 national exam, which will be given in September. Rebecca made all A's with the exception of a high B in history for the first term of this year. Rebecca is respectful and kind at home and at school. One day we were talking about walking on the moon, and Rebecca asked who was the first person. When she heard it was a man, she said, "Well, I will be the first woman on the moon." She can do it if she wants!
