My Name is
Celestina
Celestina
Celestina and her sister, Esther, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in October 2009. Celestina is a creative and enthusiastic young woman, and she is also a great dancer. She likes the hymn "Be Not Dismayed Whatever Betides" because it reminds her of God's unending love and care for her. She continues to pray that her love for others will grow, the spirit of the Lord will fill her each day, and she would grow in humility and truth.
