Blessed
Blessed’s mother abandoned her four days after her birth at the Kakamega Provincial General Hospital. The hospital social worker reported the case to the police for investigation, but the police were not able to trace her mother. She was admitted to a babies' home that then contacted Rafiki. 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.
