My Name is
Mavis
Mavis
Mavis and her twin brother and sister were orphaned when both of their parents died of illnesses. The children were then cared for by an impoverished uncle who could not provide for their basic needs. He appealed to Rafiki to assume their care. The three children were approved and moved to the Rafiki Village Ghana in August 2010. They quickly benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Marvis has a calm and gentle demeanor that puts everyone around her at ease. She continues to grow spiritually as her love for God's Word grows. Her favorite hymn is "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" because of it's truth that we need to carry everything to God in prayer.
