My Name is
Nancy

Nancy
Nancy was placed at Rafiki Village Ghana in November 2010. Nancy loves playing with her sisters and helping her Rafiki Mother with various chores around the cottage. Nancy enjoys studying literature in school. "My Faith Looks Up to Thee" is her favorite hymn because it reminds her of the Savior's love for her. Psalm 88:1 is her favorite verse because she knows she can call out to God anytime of the day or night and He will hear her.
