Jennifer
Jennifer
Jennifer is one of three triplets. Her mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her and her sisters, Janet and Joanna. Their father was unemployed and abandoned the girls. Their grandmother cared for the triplets for a time. Though she tried, the girls' grandmother struggled to provide for their basic needs. Jennifer and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2002. Jennifer is a true athlete, and she enjoys playing soccer. She is known as one of the most joy-filled young women in the Rafiki Village, and she is considered a blessing. Jennifer is confident in God's promise that everything works together for the good of those who love him. She continues to pray for health, success in academics, and strong faith.
