My Name is
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 soon proved to be a sweet and happy young lady. She is often smiling and giggling with her friends. Mary is a vibrant, joyful child that brightens everyone’s day. She likes the hymn "Christ is Coming" because it reminds her of Christ's return. She continues to pray for a strong faith and to do well academically.
