My Name is
Francesca
Francesca
Francesca's mentally ill mother would leave her, her brother Martey, and her sister Selom unattended for days at a time. Social welfare services intervened, and the children were removed from their unhealthy situation. Francesca and her siblings arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in 2003. Their mother gave birth to another boy, Emmanuel, in 2004; he arrived at the Rafiki Village in 2009. Francesca is maturing into a helpful, patient young woman. Through studying the Bible, Francesca knows that God is always with her, that she can do all things through God, and that she does not need to be anxious about anything.
