My Name is
Mary
Mary
After the death of her parents, Mary and her sisters lived with their aunt. Though she tried, the girls' aunt was unable to feed them and provide for their basic needs. She asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Mary and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2009. Mary soon proved to be a polite and respectful young lady. She loves to sing, and her favorite hymn is "The Lord is My Shepherd" because it reminds her that God is in control. She continues to pray for God's wisdom as she goes through life.
