My Name is
Chawanangwa
Chawanangwa
Chawanangwa’s mother died in 2003 and his father abandoned the family. It was stated that he was mentally ill and believed deceased in 2004. An uncle cared for Chawa after the death of his mother. He was unable to adequately care for him and asked for help from Social Welfare. Chawa was in desperate need of a good, stable home that would attend to his needs for love and nutrition. He arrived at Rafiki Village Malawi in April 2004. He wants to be a scientist and study plants. Chawanangwa enjoyed competing against other students in an Academic Challenge last term, and he was on the winning team. Their reward was a day trip to Vwaza Game Preserve where he saw elephants and hippos! He is always eager to join in and voice his thoughts during class discussions and is an excellent student.
