Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer's parents died in 2005, and her extended family was unable to care for her. Social Welfare wanted to provide her with a place to live as soon as possible, so they contacted the Rafiki Foundation. Jennifer arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria on March 19, 2007. When she graduates, Jenny would like to study to be a professional computer analyst. She has committed to improving the time she spends with the Lord. She is also dedicated to being loving towards others. Jenny knows that God is glorified when she is obedient, and she seeks to honor Him.
