My Name is
Tabitha
Tabitha
Tabitha was left in the care of her elderly grandparents after her mother died. They and her other relatives did not have the funds to properly care for her. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Kenya in 2006. Tabitha soon proved to be a responsible young woman; her teachers know that they can count on her. She is attentive to God's Word and often leads the class in singing. She works hard in school, always does her best, and promptly turns in her assignments. She has learned from the Rafiki Bible Study that God's people should walk in holiness. As she reads God's Word, she is growing spiritually and understanding what He requires of her.
