My Name is
Theresa
Theresa
Theresa’s mother died within days after giving birth to her and her twin sister, Josephine. Theresa's grandparents then cared for the girls because their father abandoned them. The grandparents were subsistence farmers who had many grandchildren they were caring for, and they were not able to care for the twins. Theresa and her sister, Josephine, arrived at Rafiki Village Zambia in November 2014 and quickly adjusted to their new life. Theresa is known for being kind and loving, and she gets along well with others because of her cheerful attitude. She enjoys learning in school and leading hymns. Theresa often thanks God for his goodness and kindness, and she thanks Him for giving her a home and family at Rafiki.
