Mary
Mary
Mary and her brother Emmanuel were born to a mother who is mentally ill and a father who has abandoned them. For the first three years of Mary’s life, she was on the streets with her mother who carried her on her back. Social welfare urged Rafiki to take both of the children because their mother was not fit to care for them. She and her brother arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2002. Mary enjoys the Rafiki Bible study at school as well as family devotions each morning and evening.
