My Name is
Rose

Rose
Both of Roses's parents are deceased. When she was five years old, she was taken to a local orphanage by her grandfather because he could not provide for her basic needs. Social welfare services recommended that Rose be placed in a permanent home; she arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008. Rose is now a solid student in every subject. She consistently completes her own assignments, and she is also willing to tutor her classmates when they have difficulty. She also enjoys sports and bike riding. Rose knows that God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. She has learned to seek answers to life's questions in the Scriptures and knows that God has specific purposes for each one of His people.
