My Name is
Dorine

Dorine
Dorine and her twin sister, Irene, were living with their impoverished paternal grandmother after they were abandoned by their parents. Though she tried, the girls' grandmother could not properly care for them. Social Welfare visited the home and found the girls in poor health, sick with malaria, and receiving only tea for sustenance. Dorine and Irene arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Dorine is now a sweet girl with a good aptitude for learning. She is focused on her work and enjoys school. In her free time, Dorine enjoys playing basketball, and she is a good player. Dorine has learned that she can go to Christ with all her problems. Dorine strives to obey God and is thankful that He made her in His image.
