My Name is
Diana
Diana
Diana and her twin brother were brought to the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2006. Diana is a funny and social young woman with a big personality. She loves to create art, play soccer, and participate in other outdoor activities. She has a lot of energy and is a fierce competitor, but she always keeps her sense of humor. Her favorite hymn is "When Morning Gilds the Skies" because it reminds her of the beauty of God's creation and calls her to praise him. She knows that God is always present and listens to his children. Her favorite Bible passage is Philippians 4:12-13. Diana prays that she will continue to love God and grow in grace and wisdom.
