In its most basic form, Raha means "holy road"; in Swahili, she is "joy"; in Sanskrit, Raha is a clan; in Bangla, it means "rest," "comfort," and "relief"; and in Arabic, it also means "peace," "happy," "freedom," and "bliss."

And in keeping with her name, we felt everything the moment we first held her. We are grateful to Raha for creating our family; it feels as though our lives are just getting started.
