My Name is
Elikana
Elikana
Elikana is a double orphan. She and her sister Mercy were in the care of a kind widow who had neither food nor home for herself, let alone two children. This environment is typical of orphaned life where children become an extraordinary burden on the remaining caretakers. After coming to Rafiki Village Malawi in May 2008, Elikana’s health improved rapidly. Elikana is an outgoing, hardworking student who participates well in class by answering questions in each of her subjects.
