Ruth
Ruth
Ruth’s mother brought her to the nursery of a hospital for an exam and then abandoned her there. Ruth arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2004. Ruth’s favorite Bible character is Noah. She thinks he was very brave to do what God asked him when he was not told why. Ruth is industrious and loves games and athletics, especially soccer. She enjoys math and reading fiction and nonfiction, and her inquisitive nature often energizes class discussions. She has learned about walking in a manner worthy of God's calling from the Rafiki Bible Study. She is also learning that we should be imitators of Christ.
