Yamakani
Yamakani
Yamikani lost her father in 2004, and her mother was dying of an illness. Upon the loss of her father, Yamikani’s mother became the head of the household, despite her fatal illness. The mother lived with other widows and they all cared for many orphaned children together. Yamikani’s acceptance into Rafiki in October 2007 was a world of opportunity for her and a huge relief for her dying mother. She knits, does cross stitch, and plays the recorder. She’d like to be a nurse when she grows up.
