Maurin
After the death of Maurin's parents, she and her younger brother, Kelvin, went to live with their grandparents. The grandmother found it very difficult to care for the two children and asked Social Welfare for help. Maurin and her brother arrived at the Rafiki Village in Tanzania in 2009. Maurin now loves to learn and is an excellent student. Maurin has high goals for her educational future, and she is capable of achieving those goals. She continues to grow stronger in the Lord as she trusts in Him.
