My Name is
Mary
Mary
Mary and her brother Emmanuel were born to a mentally-ill mother, and their father abandoned them. For the first three years of Mary’s life, she lived on the streets with her mother. Social welfare asked Rafiki to take in Mary and her brother because their mother was not mentally or physically fit to care for them. Mary and Emmanuel arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in December 2002. Mary now enjoys the Rafiki Bible Study at school and family devotions in the morning and evening. She also enjoys the lyrics of the hymn "How Firm a Foundation."
