My Name is
Sara
Sara
Sara's mother abandoned her when she was an infant, and her father remains unknown. Her grandmother, though she tried, was unable to care for Sara's basic needs and asked social welfare for help. Sara arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2009. Sara loves science and math and works diligently to complete her schoolwork. She thanks God for giving her life, both physically and spiritually, so that she may continue to learn about God and grow in her love for him. Sara prays that she will respect her teachers, love her friends, and always remember to pray for them.
