My Name is
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy's parents were killed in March 2010 in mudslides that buried an entire village and the families living there. Mercy and her younger twin brothers, Gideon and Joshua, survived. After an investigation by a social welfare officer, it was agreed to move the children to the Rafiki Village Uganda. Mercy now has the opportunity to attend school! Mercy's favorite subjects are math and science. She speaks fluent Luganda, a vernacular that has come in handy when she visits relatives in the rural homes. She can struggle to master the concepts in social studies and is receiving a lot of help from her teachers. Mercy enjoys writing cursive and makes time to practice her penmanship.
