Anastazia
Anastazia
Anastazia is a double orphan. She and her brother Innocent arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008 and soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Anastazia is focused on her studies, and she does very well in most of her subjects, especially language arts. She came to know Jesus through reading the Word and observing His beautiful creation in Malawi. She trusts in the Lord to see her through every situation. She admires Rosemary Jensen, Rafiki's founder, and prays for her often.
