My Name is
Anjela
Anjela
After being abandoned by her mother, Anjela lived with her elderly grandfather in a small mud hut. Their home was in a desolate area on the outskirts of town. Though he tried, Anjela's grandfather could not properly care for her and sought help. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Tanzania in 2012. Anjela is now a bright student who takes her education seriously and studies hard. She enjoys reading in her free time. One of her favorite Bible verses is Revelation 22:7: "And behold I am coming soon." Keeping her eyes fixed on Christ's return gives Anjela hope.
