My Name is
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy was referred to the Rafiki Foundation by a local ministry. Her mother was twenty-two years old and gave Mercy to her great grandmother, who is unable to care for her. Mercy's father abandoned her and her mother after she was born. Mercy was approved by Social Welfare and settled into her new home at the Rafiki Village. She now has a future and a hope! Mercy's favorite subjects are math and science, and she knows they are key for her future career choice. She wants to become an engineer! Her teachers inform her that she would excel in math if she would only pay more attention and stop fooling around in class. Mercy learned from language arts that words communicate ideas, so God wants us to be careful in choosing the words we speak with. Mercy enjoys cursive and tries her best not to lift her pen from when she starts writing a word to when she ends. She has learned the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy" in soprano so that she can sing it by heart.
