My Name is
Sandra
Sandra
Sandra lived in her uncle's care after her parent's death. Social Services recommended that Rafiki accepted her because her uncle had many orphans in his care and could no longer care for her. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. Sandra's favorite subjects are biology, chemistry, and geography because she believes they shape her desired career choice: becoming a nutritionist. She excels in history, literature, geography, biology, and Bible. Sandra is fully confident that Jesus is trustworthy, and she knows that she has nothing to lose in surrendering her life to him. She strives to keep her heart wholly devoted to Jesus.
