My Name is
Nancy
Nancy
Both of Nancy's parents died when she was a young child. Before her mother's death, she wanted Nancy to be in a safe place. Social welfare services recommended that Nancy be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. She soon proved to be a well-rounded student who sets very high standards for all of her work. Nancy trusts Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior, and she has made a commitment to follow Him for the rest of her life. Nancy has learned that God is slow to anger and quick to forgive.
