My Name is
Winnie
Winnie
Winnie has lost her mother and never knew her father. After her mother died, she was sent to live with her uncle who could barely provide food for himself, much less Winnie. Due to malnutrition, Winnie was behind developmental norms. Social Welfare recommended she be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi so that she can receive better care. She arrived in January 2007 to her new home. Her favorite subjects are math, Bible, and science. She hopes to become a physician someday.
