My Name is
Edda
Edda
Orphaned at birth, Edda lived with her grandparents when she was a small child. There were eleven people living in the home and her aging grandparents could not provide enough food for everyone. Social welfare placed 4-year-old Edda in the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007. Edda is a quiet girl who works hard and enjoys all subjects, especially language arts and religious education. As Edda matures, she continues to show more of her pretty smile, humor, and individual personality. She enjoys playing soccer and music. Edda knows God has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. Edda is kind, and she loves to see others happy.
