My Name is
Sibongile
Sibongile
Sibongile’s mother was impoverished an unable to care for her or her sister. They were both given to their grandmother who was equally poor. After a time it was established that Sibongile and her sister were going to need another home. She moved into the Rafiki Village in Malawi and adapted quickly. She has a love for school and looks forward to spelling and running races during P.E. Her teacher says she is beginning to be more competitive and draws motivation from her peers.
