My Name is
Anna
Anna
Anna was left on a porch in Monrovia, Liberia when she was eighteen months old. To this day, little is known about who her parents are. After several failed attempts to locate any relatives, she was taken to an orphanage. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2007 and soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Anna knows Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, and she strives to serve Him with her life. Jeremiah 29:11 has comforted her because God knows the plans He has for her.
