My Name is
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria and her twin sister, Olivia, were abandoned and given to a paternal uncle after their father died. Their uncle soon found he could not properly care for them and applied to social services for help. The Rafiki Village Uganda was contacted, and Gloria and Olivia arrived in 2008. Now, Gloria has particular interests in language arts, science, and math. Science intrigues her, and she especially enjoys learning about body systems and their functions. When she thinks of all the different body systems, she considers what an amazing Creator God is. Gloria understands that God is merciful to save her and that nothing can separate her from God's love.
