My Name is
Josephine
Josephine
Josephine’s mother died within days after giving birth to Josephine and her twin sister, Theresa. The father’s parents were caring for the girls because the father abandoned them. The grandparents were subsistence farmers and had many grandchildren they were caring for. They were not able to care for the twins. Josephine and her sister Theresa arrived at Rafiki Village Zambia in November 2014 and quickly adjusted to their new life. Josephine is in preprimary school. Josephine says she follows her Rafiki mother's rules even when she is not around, but sometimes she does not. She can tell when someone is doing something wrong, and it makes her feel bad. She feels sorry when others are in pain or are crying, and she knows how to share with her friends. The story she likes most from the Bible is about Jesus' love for the children, and she has learned "The New Testament Song." When she prays, she thanks God for making her, the trees, and everyone.
