My Name is
Scovia

Scovia
Scovia’s parents died within two years of each other, and their cause of death is unknown. She was then placed in the care of an impoverished aunt. Though she tried, the aunt could not provide for Scovia's basic needs. Social Welfare referred her to Rafiki, and she arrived at the Rafiki Village Uganda in 2005. Scovia loves working with numbers, solving problems, and being practical in all things. She enjoys math and history class and would like to be a psychologist in the future. Scovia is assured that she is an heir with Christ in God's family. She strives to put God first in her life, to be led by the Holy Spirit, and to be faithful in daily Bible reading and prayer.
