My Name is
Miriam
Miriam
Miriam and her younger brother, Daniel, were placed with their grandfather after their parents died. Their grandfather was too burdened, having to care for eight other children, to continue caring for them. Both Miriam and her brother were placed by Social Welfare at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in July 2005. Miriam has completed her studies at the Rafiki School and is being supported through her university studies. She has seen God's work in her life, and she is thankful that she was accepted to university. She is also humbled by God forgiveness, and she wants to forgive others as he has forgiven her. Miriam continues to desire to draw closer to God as she studies His Word.
