My Name is
Ringabell
Ringabell
Ringabell’s mother died from poisoning and her father died of typhoid fever. Ringabell was 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 is a unique and sweet little girl. She has become the teacher’s special helper, which makes her feel very important! She especially loves jumping rope, hopscotch, and drawing with sidewalk chalk.
