My Name is
Memory
Memory
Memory and her twin brother, Uchizi, had no family to care for them. Their mother died, and their father remains unknown. Social welfare requested that the twins be moved to the Rafiki Village in Malawi, and they arrived on March 22, 2006. Memory continues to grow and be nurtured at Rafiki. She knows Jesus through His Word, and she trusts Him because He has forgiven her sins. Memory is confident in the Lord's love.
