Nellice
Nellice
Nellice’s parents died within two years of each other – one in 2002 the other in 2004. She was an orphan before she was three years old. She was sent to live with her grandmother however the grandmother could barely provide food for herself much less Nellice. Social Welfare was concerned for the her and recommended she be assigned to the Rafiki Village in Malawi. She arrived to the Rafiki Village in January 2007 and was immediately welcomed into a new family. Nellice is always prepared for class and often reads ahead of the assigned portions for homework. Her teacher says she is a model student in all her subjects and is a leader by example in spite of being very quiet.
