My Name is
Carol
Carol
Carol lived with her grandmother since her mother was not capable of caring for her, and her father abandoned the family when she was a baby. Her grandmother also cared for four of her own children and ten grandchildren. The family survived by selling small quantities of merchandise on the street. The grandmother asked social welfare for help and Rafiki was contacted. Carol arrived at her new home at Rafiki Village Zambia in April 2014. Her cousin, Mapalo, also lives at Rafiki. Carol believes God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. She understands and believes Jesus is the Son of God and her Redeemer. Carol reads her Bible on her own and prays alone to God. He answered her prayer to heal her when she was sick. Carol asked God to heal her grandma, too, and He did. She is obedient and loving.
