My Name is
Wanangwa
Wanangwa
Wanangwa lost both his parents to fatal illnesses by 2007. His sixty-year-old grandmother, a poor widow, took her grandson in and they lived in a home built of temporary bricks. She was attempting to care for eight children, five of which were under the age of five years. Wanangwa was considered by Social Welfare to be “completely needy”. He came to the Malawi Village in November 2007. Wanangwa is a good student and raises his hand to answer questions every time the teacher asks! He has shown phenominal maturity in constantly improving his self-control and his homework assignments.
