My Name is
Estery

Estery
Both of Estery's (Esther) parents passed away from an illness when she was a young child. When she arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007, she was malnourished, anemic, and had a possible parasitic infection. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at Rafiki. Quiet and attentive, Estry soon proved to be a consistent and disciplined student. She participates and asks questions well in her classes. Esther came to know Jesus through the Bible, especially from His teaching to the disciples. She is committed to trusting Jesus all the days of her life.
