My Name is
Lilian
Lilian
Lilian was born a twin but was separated from her brother at birth. Her mother gave her over to an aunt. Lilian's aunt died a few months later, and Lilian was found, severely malnourished, in the house. A local pastor took her into his home, but he was already caring for several children. He contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. After she arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Kenya, her health rapidly started to improve. Lilian enjoys learning in language arts and physical education. She is a steadfast, conscientious worker! She continues to grow spiritually by reading God's Word and seeking God's face.
