My Name is
Ruth
Ruth
Ruth’s mother brought her to the nursery of a hospital for an exam and then abandoned her there. Ruth was initially named “Nursery” by the staff. Since she was abandoned, all attempts to find her mother have proved futile. Ruth arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Kenya in May 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 livens up class discussions.
