Rose
Rose
Rose and her brother Elias' single mother passed away in November 2005. The siblings then lived with their grandparents. Our social worker went to their village for a home visit, and she found a mud house where these two children were living in one room with an auntie. The grandparents had little food to feed the children and had been receiving help from a feeding program. The children looked ill cared for when they came to Rafiki for their medical screening. Social welfare recommended they be placed at the Rafiki Village Kenya and both Rose and her brother arrived in December 2006. Rose is very happy and has a well-adjusted, positive attitude toward her lessons. She enjoys learning Math and Business studies. She seeks additional information when she does not grasp a concept, which contributes to better performance on her exams. She has a pleasant demeanor and always follows directions given by her teachers.
