My Name is
Tabitha
Tabitha
Tabitha was left in the care of her elderly grandparents when her mother died. They were too poor to care for her, and her other relatives survive from hand-to-mouth. Tabitha is an only child. She was transferred to a home for babies by a pastor. The home then referred her to Rafiki Foundation. She seemed a bit lost on her first day, but her Rafiki Mother was very patient and gentle with Tabitha and helped her to settle well in her new home. Tabitha is now very responsible, and her teachers know that they can count on her. She is attentive to God's Word and often leads the class in singing. She is academically average, always does her best, and promptly turns in her assignments. She struggles in Kiswahili class, but she is progressing and working hard!
