Mary
Mary
Mary is a double orphan who was placed in the care of her uncle and his family after the death of her parents. Her uncle cared for many children and extended family members and struggled to care for them all. He appealed to Rafiki for help. Mary was placed at Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2010. Mary is a sweet and happy little girl. She is always smiling and giggling with her sisters in the house. Mary is a vibrant, joyful child that brightens everyone’s day!
