My Name is
Queen
Queen
Queen’s mother died in 2007 and her father, unable to care for her, abandoned her. She then lived with her grandparents and six other orphans. Though they tried, her grandparents could not provide for her basic needs. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008. She soon proved to be a hardworking student who participates well and tries to answer questions during lectures. Queen knows Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. She thanks God for his everlasting love and for creating her in His own image. Her favorite Bible verse is Psalm 91:2 because it reminds her that God protects and guides her daily.
