Rebekah
Rebekah
Both of Rebekah’s parents died in 2004 from unknown causes. She then lived with an elderly, blind, grandfather. With his disability and lack of resources, social welfare referred Rebecca to Rafiki. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in August 2005. Rebecca now enjoys learning in school. Some of her best grades are in computer and history. She values education because it helps her live a better life. She also appreciates nature because she can see God's beauty in it. She trusts God and loves to read His promises in the Bible. Rebekah prays that she will be diligent in serving both God and others.
