Emily

Emily
Before Emily arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007, she was in the care of an aunt and uncle who did not have the means to properly feed her. After her arrival at the Village, she began to thrive from good nutrition and quality care. Emily's favorite subjects are math and science, and she wishes to enter the medical field someday. Emily loves Jesus and his Word. She believes that nothing is impossible with Jesus, and she knows that she can always trust him.
