Blessed arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2007. Blessed is organized and enjoys writing. Her best subjects are math and science. She has learned that Jesus is the perfecter and founder of our faith. She continues to pray for strong faith, diligence in her studies, and gratitude for God's blessings.
