Brenda
Brenda
Both of Brenda's parents passed away in 2005 of an illness. The family that was caring for Brenda depended on brick molding as their source of income. This industry is only seasonal and is one of the greatest sources of child labor in the country. Social welfare services expressed their concerns regarding economic exploitation in Brenda's situation. Brenda arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Brenda is kind, considerate, and thoughtful. Her favorite subject is agriculture. She trusts Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior and is committed to following God all the days of her life.
