My Name is
Rhoda

Rhoda
Rhoda's mother died when she was a small child, and her father abandoned her. She then lived with her grandmother and eleven other children in a small house for a time. Food was scarce, and there was no opportunity for an education. Rhoda's grandmother contacted the Rafiki Foundation, hoping for a better life for her granddaughter. Rhoda was approved and came to the Village in 2012. Rhoda likes to read, and she has been inspired by several authors to have good relationships with peers and parents, to have faith and courage in whatever she passes through, and to thank God for who He made her to be. She also enjoys reading her Bible and praying. She strives to show more fruit of the spirit every day.
