Rose
Rose
Five-year-old Rose was brought by her grandfather to a local orphanage in early 2007 because her parents were dead and he could no longer care for her. Social welfare recommended that Rose be placed in a permanent home and she joined Rafiki Village Zambia in January 2008. Now in Senior Secondary School, Rose (known by her nickname Bupe) knows that God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. She has learned to seek answers in the Scripture to life's deep questions and knows God has specific purposes for each one of us. Bupe is a solid student in all subjects. She consistently completes her own assignments, and is also willing to tutor her classmates when they have difficulty. She considers herself particularly strong in mathematics and Cinyanja. Bupe enjoys sports and recently learned to ride a bike!
