My Name is
Elikana

Elikana
Elikana is a double orphan. She and her sister Mercy were in the care of an impoverished widow who had neither food nor home for herself, let alone two children. After arriving at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008, Elikana’s health improved rapidly due to the quality care and nutritious good she received in the Village. Elikana is now an outgoing, hardworking student who participates well in class by answering questions in each of her subjects. She knows Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, and she trusts that He will supply all her needs.
