My Name is
Anna

Anna
Anna arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2006, a year after both her parents died. Now, Anna says education is valuable because it affords her knowledge of unknown things and shows her how to apply that knowledge to her life. She loves to learn. She says that God makes Himself known to her continually through His Word and through nature. Anna's favorite book of the Bible is Proverbs because it fills her with wisdom.
