My Name is
Gloria

Gloria
Gloria’s parents died when she was young, and she and her brother Thomas were placed in the care of her impoverished grandmother. When she and Thomas arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007, Gloria was malnourished and suffering from an ear infection. After arriving at the Village, the siblings soon benefited from nourishing food and quality care. Gloria is now a well-rounded student who is attentive and hard working. She likes to answer questions, and she also asks good questions in class. Gloria loves Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. She is committed to standing firm in her faith, helping the weak by sharing their burdens, and living a life pleasing to God.
