My Name is
Vivian
Vivian
Vivian’s mother is mentally ill. Her father is unknown. Vivian was carried around on her mother’s back 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 needs. Child Welfare and her maternal aunt took Vivian, when they could get her, from her mother. Vivian was separated from her mother for a while by the time she arrived at Rafiki Village Ghana in April 2002.
