My Name is
Mwaka
Mwaka
Mwaka’s aunt cared for her after both of her parents died. Her aunt was a widow who was caring for six people in her home at the time. Though she tried, Mwaka's aunt could not properly provide for her basic needs and sought help. Mwaka arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2010. Mwaka enjoys studying the human body in biology. Science and grammar are her strongest subjects. Mwaka expresses herself well and is not afraid to ask questions. She holds a leadership position in school and enjoys singing in the choir. She found reading and studying 1 and 2 Timothy very helpful and has gleaned much from Paul's words to Timothy.
