Jane
Jane and her twin brother Jimmy, were brought to a local police station after their mother died in a local hospital. Eventually, the grandfather was located, but he was unable to care for the twins. Both the children were placed with a children’s home in October 2002 and then came to the Rafiki Village in Nairobi in May 2004. Jane likes memorizing Bible verses, something many of the children in the Village enjoy doing. Jane is kind, humble, loving, caring, and always cheerful. Jane enjoys her Home Science lessons, particularly sewing and cooking lessons. She participated in the Kenya Secondary School students' competition for ping-pong and achieved Position One! She willingly takes part in classroom activities and respectfully accepts responsibility. She can struggle with Kiswahili, Math, and Chemistry at times, but she continues to work hard.
