Susan
Susan was abandoned as a child and was placed in a temporary place for abandoned children before being assigned to the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2006. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Rafiki Village. Susan looks forward to science and math classes because she likes details. She understands that all of life is made possible by God, and He also takes good care of all creation, including herself. Susan thanks God for sending His Son to die for her sins, and she loves Christ and seeks to imitate him.
