Mapalo
Mapalo
Mapalo’s grandmother was caring for ten of her grandchildren as well as four of her own children. They survived by selling small quantities of merchandise on the street. She appealed to Rafiki for help. Mapalo arrived at her new home at Rafiki Village Zambia in March 2014. Her cousin, Carol, arrived one month later. When Mapalo came to Rafiki she was a new walker and malnourished. In just one month, she was walking confidently and eating like she was making up for lost meals! Today she is in preprimary school. Mapalo is learning to discern between right and wrong. She feels bad when someone does something wrong and may even cry because of it. Mapalo is able to follow her Rafiki mother's rules when she is not around, though sometimes she does not. When Mapalo prays, she thanks God for being good to her and she thanks Him for allowing her to come to Rafiki. She knows from God's Word that His love never ends and that Jesus died for her. Mapalo is learning to share with her friends about the goodness of Jesus.
