My Name is
Rose
Rose
Rose's mother passed away in 2005, and her father remains unknown. She and her brother Elias then lived with their impoverished grandparents for a time. Though they tried, they could not provide for the children's basic needs. Social welfare services recommended the children be placed at the Rafiki Village Kenya, and Rose and her brother arrived in 2006. Rose soon proved to be very happy and has a well-adjusted, positive attitude toward her lessons. She enjoys learning about math and business studies. She has a pleasant demeanor and always follows directions given by her teachers. She has learned from the book of James that faith without works is dead. She is thankful to God for good health, Rafiki, and the gift of life.
