My Name is
Mariah
Mariah
After both Maria's parents died, she was left in the care of her impoverished grandmother who could not adequately care for her. Social welfare services recommended that Maria be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi; she arrived at the Village in 2007. Maria trusts Jesus and has made a commitment to lean on God for all things. She marvels at the fact that God is both a jealous and loving God.
