My Name is
Valiness

Valiness
From a young age, Valiness lived with her impoverished grandmother who could not provide for her needs. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Valiness excels in many academic subjects and catches on quickly to learn new things. She especially enjoys math and language arts. Valiness has professed faith in Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. She is grateful that God forgives all who confess their sins and trust in Him. Valiness finds comfort in the fact that God is trustworthy and all-knowing.
