My Name is
Tiwonge
Tiwonge
Tiwonge came to us from extremely vulnerable circumstances. Her mother suffers from extreme mental disabilities and her father abandoned them very early on. It was reported to Social Welfare that three mentally disabled adults were living with this child and her mother. Tiwonge, at 4 years of age, came to Rafiki Village Malawi in November 2007. She is a beautiful young girl with a smile that is captivating. After months of extra preparation, she and her Standard 8 classmates recently took their National Exams. They will have to wait several months to find out their results. Tiwonge is an good student and is making great strides in Language Arts and Bible this term.
