My Name is
Edda
Edda
Orphaned at birth, Edda lived with her grandparents. There were eleven people living in the home and her aging grandparents could not provide enough food for all. Social welfare placed 4-year-old Edda at Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007. Now about to enter Senior High School, Edda is a quiet girl who works hard and enjoys all subjects, especially language arts and religious education. Edda is maturing, and is showing more of her pretty smile, humor, and individual personality. Edda knows God has given her a new heart, saved her and made her His child. Edda is kind, and loves to see others happy. Edda has learned from God's Word that He wants her to love others and share joy together.
