My Name is
Mirriam
Mirriam
Mirriam’s father died in 2003 and her mother died two years later. Three-year-old Mirriam then went to live with an aunt. The aunt was also caring for four other children in her home and could not care for Mirriam as well. Social welfare, in response to the aunt's plea for help, placed Mirriam at Rafiki Village Zambia in 2008 where she began receiving three nutritious meals a day and an education. Now in Senior Secondary School, Mirriam's faith is growing rich and deep. She is able to consider a passage in the Bible, look at a commentary, and teach others the truths found there. She spends time alone reading God's word and praying. Mirriam is involved in the Rafiki youth choir and the Rafiki Village children's choir. Mirriam is a top student whose favorite subjects are Language Arts and Math. She is an excellent role model for other students, and was named a class prefect for her academic excellence and leadership qualities.
