My Name is
Nellice

Nellice
Nellice’s parents died within two years of each other, and she was an orphan before she was three years old. She was sent to live with her grandmother; however, her grandmother could not provide for her needs. Social welfare services recommended that Nellice be assigned to the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. She soon proved to be a good student who is prepared for class and often reads ahead of the assigned portions for homework. She is known as a model student in all her subjects, and she often leads by example. Nellice came to know Jesus through the Rafiki Bible study, and she has made a commitment to be joyful in the Lord always.
