Violet
When Violet’s mother died, her elderly grandfather enlisted her for household help with chores, cooking, and carrying firewood. Violet was in need of adequate care. The Rafiki Foundation was considering Violet and on the day of the health physical at the Rafiki Village Malawi. Violet said that she wanted to come back another day. During the following home visit she asked if today was the day she could come live at Rafiki. She finally came to stay in August 2007. During the last term break, Violet attended Career Days and heard from a doctor, an accountant, and other professionals about the benefits and requirements of various career options. She was struggling with the national language, Chichewa, but has improved her speaking ability through more class participation. She enjoys Language Arts and Writing.
