Virginiah
Virginiah is a double orphan. A widow was caring for Virginiah, but she struggled to raise her own children and was unable to help Virginiah. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted for help. Virginiah arrived at her new home in August 2011. She is already enjoying the comforts of her own bed and three nutritious meals every day. Virginiah enjoys Physical Education and Grammar. She has memorized many grammar songs that help her remember grammar concepts. She shows great strength in sports, especially soccer. She struggles at times in Math and Kiswahili class, but she assumes responsibility well and is also a big help in keeping the classroom clean and pleasant. She has improved in her reading skills and her ability to work independently on assignments.
