Grace
Grace and her brother, Martin, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2005. Grace is a unique and creative girl with a very active imagination. She enjoys helping those in need and sharing what she has. Her favorite part of each day is attending Bible class because she learns to love God and know him more.
