Rinet
Rinet
Rinet's mother was terminally ill and not expected to live much longer when it was suggested that Rinet be moved to the Rafiki village. Rinet and her mother lived in very humble conditions. When her mother was sick, she could not care for herself and neglected to care for Rinet. Because of this situation, Rinet's mother and Social Welfare asked the Rafiki Foundation to take over Rinet's care. She arrived at her new home on January 17, 2013. Rinet is now an outstanding math student and enjoys math the most out of all her subjects. On the other hand, she can struggle with science, social studies, and spelling. Her teachers are lending her support in these challenging subjects. In art, Rinet has learned that God the Creator has created artistic skills and knowledge. She is learning cursive and loves tilting the letters of the words she now writes. Rinet was part of a group that sang the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy" and was fascinated by the harmony of alto and soprano voices as they glorified God together.
