My Name is
Innocent

Innocent
Innocent is a double orphan. He and his sister Anastazia were approved by social welfare services to join the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008. He and his sister soon benefited from a good diet, good hygiene, and a loving family environment. Innocent soon proved to be a quiet student with a very cooperative spirit who tries hard and participates well in class by answering questions. He especially enjoys language arts and reading. Innocent trusts Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior, and he understands that he did not become right with God because of his own works; he knows that it is by grace he has been saved.
