My Name is
Mercy

Mercy
Mercy is a double orphan. She and and her sister Elikana were in the care of an impoverished widow who had neither food nor home for herself, let alone two children. After arriving with her sister at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2008, Mercy's health improved rapidly due to the quality care and nutritious food she received. Now, Mercy is passionate about science. She especially enjoys agriculture class. Mercy believes that Jesus died on the cross to save sinners. She trusts in the Lord for salvation and strives to please God and love Him.
