My Name is
Jessica
Jessica
Jessica was found abandoned as an infant at a community school in 2009 and was taken to the police station. The police could not locate her parents, so they took her to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. From there she was placed in a local orphanage for temporary care. When no one arrived to claim her, the Ministry asked Rafiki to give her a permanent home. Jessica arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012, and she quickly proved to be a sweet little girl. She enjoys writing and telling stories and seeks to improve her skills in that area. Jessica strives to love and respect others and work diligently in school. She prays that she will grow in the fruit of the Spirit, obey authority, and grow in her love for Jesus.
