My Name is
Mavis
Mavis
Mavis and her twin brother and sister, were orphaned when both of their parents died of illnesses. Their uncle had no alternative but to add these children to his already full home of a wife and eleven children. His financial position was such that he cannot care for all these children. He appealed to Rafiki to care for these orphans. The three children were approved and moved to the Rafiki Village Ghana in August 2010. Marvis has a calm and gentle demeanor that puts everyone around her at ease
