My Name is
Esther

Esther
Esther's father died in 2004, and her mother died six months later. Esther was then placed in the care of an aunt. Though she tried, Esther's aunt could not properly care for her. She asked social services for help, and Esther arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2008. Esther is now a good student who enjoys school. She wants to thank her sponsors for their prayers and for enabling her to get a good education. She is learning to trust God because He has provided so abundantly for her. She says that God has made Himself known to her through the beauty of nature and the power of His Word. She desires to trust God in every circumstance.
