My Name is
Sandra
Sandra
Sandra and her twin brother were left as orphans when their mother died in 2007 and their father died in 2009. They were then placed in the care of their aunt who, though she tried, could not provide for their basic needs. Social welfare services contacted the Rafiki Foundation, and the twins were approved and moved to the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2011. Sandra likes the hymn "Holy God We Praise Your Name" because it teaches her about God's holiness and everlasting reign. She has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that Christians should never stop praying and should always be rejoicing.
