My Name is
Lonnie
Lonnie
Before coming to the village she was called “Lonely” because both of her parents were deceased. Rafiki renamed her Lonnie. Her grandmother was alive but could barely care for herself. Social Welfare recommended she be admitted to the Rafiki Village Malawi for her survival, growth, and development. She arrived in February 2007 to her new family. Lonni is a well-rounded student who spends some of her free time sharpening her math skills. Her teacher says she has shown progress in her personal study habits this term.
