My Name is
Grace

Grace
Grace was orphaned when she was only three months old. She then went to live with her grandmother who shared a small hut with seven other family members. The family was destitute and Grace was severely malnourished. Grace arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007, and she soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving family environment at the Village. Grace continues to trust God and find answers to her questions in the Bible. Through studying His Word, Grace believes God will change her life if she asks Him and that He is always there to protect her. Grace sets high goals for herself, and she puts in the effort to achieve them. She is a leader in school and a solid student in all subjects. When her homework is finished, she loves reading and participating in athletic activities, particularly bicycling.
