My Name is
Vivian
Vivian
Vivian’s mother was mentally ill, and her father was unknown. Vivian was carried around on her mother’s back as a small child and was out with her wandering the streets in all weather, both day and night. Because of the mother’s mental health, she was not able to give Vivian the care and nourishment she needed. Vivian arrived at the Rafiki Village Ghana in April 2002. She soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. She continues to mature and grow in her faith. Her favorite hymn, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" reminds her that Christ will carry her burdens and give her peace.
