Mary
Mary
Mary and her brother, Emmanuel, arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2002. Mary is kind, generous, and helpful. In her free time, she enjoys sewing and making crafts. She also loves to help in the kitchen because she gets to prepare food for her Rafiki family. Her favorite part of the day is when she participates in family devotions. Through her studies in the Book of Exodus, Mary has seen how God always keeps his promises. She prays that she will continue trusting in God, grow strong in her faith, and always show kindness and love to others.
