My Name is
Thandiwe
Thandiwe
After her mother's death, Thandiwe was sent to live with her great grandmother. However, at her young age, Thandiwe soon became her ailing grandmother's primary caretaker; the living situation was not conducive for a child. After the death of her grandmother, Thandiwe joined her younger brother at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2011. The siblings enjoyed a wonderful reunion and Thadiwe benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. Thandiwe enjoys agriculture class, and she is known for working hard in school. She has come to know God through the Rafiki Bible Study. Thandiwe trusts God as her creator, and she prays to always seek to please God in word and deed.
