Episode 14: The Student Experience at Rafiki
In this episode, Karen speaks with a Rafiki alumnus about her experience at the Rafiki school and what she has done since graduating.
Karen Elliott is the executive director of the Rafiki Foundation. She has served with Rafiki since 1990, including twelve years on the mission field, most of that time in Jos, Nigeria. Karen travels to Africa several times each year to oversee operations at each Rafiki Village and considers herself to be an “American African” who is comfortable talking to presidents of African countries, national church leaders, local tribal chieftains– but her passion revolves around caring for the children and students at Rafiki Villages.
