My Name is
Annie
Annie
When Annie’s parents passed away, she was placed in the care of her aunt. Though she tried, her aunt could not provide for her basic needs and desired that her niece should receive an education. Annie arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2012. Annie enjoys learning in school and getting to know people. She especially loves science because it teaches her about God’s wonderful and unique creation. Annie diligently strives to live her life in a manner pleasing to God and has worked hard to learn more about patience. Annie prays that all she does will honor and glorify God and that she will persevere in her studies.
