My Name is
Tiwonge
Tiwonge
Tiwonge first arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Her mother suffered from mental disabilities, and she could not provide for Tiwonge's basic needs; her father abandoned them when she was a young child. After moving to the Rafiki Village, Tiwonge soon proved to be a lovely girl with a captivating smile. She is a good student who does particularly well in language arts and Bible class. Tiwonge has experienced the joy of answered prayers and believes that Jesus is a true friend and loving Savior. She seeks to imitate Christ by helping her neighbors carry their burdens.
