Winnie
Winnie
After her mother died, Winnie was sent to live with her uncle who could barely provide food for himself, much less her. Due to malnutrition, Winnie was behind developmentally. Social welfare services recommended that she be placed at the Rafiki Village Malawi. She arrived in January 2007. Winnie's favorite subjects are math, Bible, and science. She hopes to become a physician someday. Winnie came to know Jesus through the Rafiki Bible study. She trusts Christ because He is her Savior who gave up His life for her.
