Theresa
Theresa
Theresa’s mother died within days after giving birth to Theresa and her twin sister, Josephine. The father’s parents were caring for the girls because the father abandoned them. The grandparents were subsistence farmers and had many grandchildren they were caring for. 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 currently in preprimary school. When Theresa talks to God, she tells Him that He is good. She thanks Him for giving her food and for her school. The story Theresa likes the most in the Bible is the story about Jesus' dying for our sins. She is able to know if someone does something wrong or right and she feels bad when someone does something wrong. Theresa feels sorry and sad for others when they are having pain or are crying. She has learned to share with her friends and follows her Rafiki mother's rules even when she is not around.
