My Name is
Azuma
Azuma
Azuma’s mother died during a riot and her father died soon after her. Azuma and her siblings Atimbil and Awumbe then lived with an uncle for a time. The uncle had five other children, and he struggled to provide for all their needs. He asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Azumba and her brothers arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2010. Azuma soon proved to be very creative; she loves to sing, dance, and do arts and crafts activities. As she has studied the Bible in Rafiki, Azuma has seen examples of people trusting God and hopes to do the same. She likes the hymn "Jesus Shall Reign" because it reminds her that Jesus reigns in the world and that He is her King.
