My Name is
Winnie
Winnie
Winnie's young mother died while giving birth to her, and her father died after being hit by a car. She lived with relatives in poor conditions for a time before arriving at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2013. Winnie wants to be a ballet dancer when she grows up. When she is not reading about ballet dancers, she can be found dancing around the hallways. She also enjoys studying mathematics. Winnie says she knows that glory belongs to Jesus because He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and she loves Him because He died for her sins.
