My Name is
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel's mother died two days after he was born. Because his father could not provide for his basic needs, Emmanuel was placed in a crisis nursery where he stayed for about one year. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2013 and benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Emmanuel is now an enthusiastic learner. He especially looks forward to Bible class and often helps his teacher distribute hymnals and Bibles to his classmates. He believes in Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior and prays for others who do not know Jesus.
