My Name is
Ringabell
Ringabell
Ringabell’s mother died from poisoning and her father died of typhoid fever. Ringabell was then sent to live with an aunt. Unable to care for Ringabell, her aunt brought her to Rafiki seeking help. Ringabell arrived at the Rafiki Village in Ghana in February 2011. She soon proved to be a unique and sweet young lady. She likes the hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" because it reminds her that Jesus is always there for her. Ringabell has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that God has called believers to live holy lives.
