My Name is
Priscilla
Priscilla
Priscilla's father went missing after riots broke out near their village when she was a child. She was then considered an orphan after her mother died in 2001. She lived with her uncle for a time; however, he soon found that he could not provide for both his own children and Priscilla. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Priscilla is now a good student who enjoys school. She is continually captivated by the beauty of God's creation. She sees His provision and power in nature, and God reminds her that He is the creator of all beautiful things in the Scriptures.
