Witness
Witness
Witness lived most of her life at an orphanage. Her mother died two weeks after she was born and the father is unknown. No one in the family was able to care for her. Social welfare recommended that the Rafiki Foundation take over the care of Witness. She arrived at Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2009. Witness is a positive and sweet child. She is dyslexic and thus has many learning difficulties. We are so thankful for her good attitude even in the midst of her struggles. Witness works very hard at school each day and works with special teachers so that her learning continues. Witness is an incredible athlete and plays well in tennis. Joining the tennis team has been helpful for her self-esteem: she now has an outlet where she feels good about her abilities. Witness has many obstacles to overcome in her education, but with diligence we see that she will overcome many of them and have a good future.
