My Name is
Patricia
Patricia
Patricia's early life was filled with tragedy; she never knew either of her parents. Her mother died during childbirth and her father was killed in war. The woman caring for Patricia and her sister struggled to adequately provide for the girls. Social welfare services contacted the Rafiki Foundation and in 2008, the sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia. Patricia loves her rhetoric class and is thankful for the opportunity to receive an excellent education at the Rafiki School. She praises God for his mercy every day and for giving her a loving Rafiki family. Patricia prays that she will diligently study God’s Word and be a godly example to the young students at the Village.
