My Name is
Sensee

Sensee
Sensee’s mother died three days after giving birth to her. Her father also died in 2008. After the death of her parents, she lived with her uncle. Though he tried, he and his wife struggled to provide for Sensee and their own children. They appealed to the Rafiki Foundation for help, and Sensee arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. She soon happily adjusted to her new environment. Sensee has a soft heart and enjoys serving others. Sensee wants to be an astronaut when she grows up, and she enjoys learning in her math and science classes. She knows Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Sensee's favorite hymn, "Wonderful Words of Life," reminds her that the name of Jesus gives her life.
