My Name is
Naomi
Naomi
Naomi and her three sisters lost their mother due to high blood pressure and their father to alcoholism. After the death of their parents in 2010 they moved in with their widowed grandmother. She had no source of income and eating everyday for the family was a problem. Nineteen people live in her home and life was very difficult for them. The family was overjoyed when these four little girls came to live at Rafiki Village Zambia in May 2011. Naomi is currently in the 5th grade. Sometimes Naomi is able to discern when someone does something wrong or right. She feels bad if someone does something wrong and is encouraged when she sees others doing the right thing. Naomi hasn't begun praying alone to God, but when she prays, she tells God she is sorry for her sin. She also asks God to guide everyone. Naomi believes that Jesus is the Son of God. She says she likes to teach others God's word. Some of the stories she likes and understands are the story of Abraham and of Ruth. She has learned the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness."
