Scovia
Scovia
Scovia’s parents died within two years of each other. Her mother died first in 2001 when Scovia was probably a year old, and her father followed in 2003. Their cause of death is unknown. She was then placed with an aunt who was impoverished and could not care for the child. Social Welfare referred her to Rafiki. Scovia arrived to her new family at Rafiki November 2, 2005. Scovia loves working with numbers, solving problems, and being practical in all things. She enjoys math and history and is doing well in biology. She believes all of these subjects are essential for her future goal of working as a psychologist. Physics and chemistry are challenging for her, so she has been consulting a lot with teachers and classmates to overcome difficulties with the concepts. She is also studying early sacred music and learning many new things about God's gift of music to mankind.
