Yamakani
Yamakani
Yamikani lost her father in 2004, and her mother was also dying of illness at this time. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Malawi in 2007. Her new home was a relief to her dying mother. Yamikani would like to be a nurse when she grows up. She knows Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and Lord. She is grateful to the Lord for His guidance, and she is committed to serving Him. Yamikani's favorite Bible verse is Ephesians 2:8–10.
