My Name is
Samuel
Samuel
Samuel and his twin brother, Joshua, arrived at Rafiki Village Liberia in July 2013. Their mother had passed away after contracting malaria, and their father also died the same year. The boys were put in the care of their elderly grandmother who could not properly care for them. Before coming to the Village, they lived in difficult conditions. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Samuel enjoys studying math. He also enjoys playing soccer and would like to be a soccer player one day. He is excellent at memorizing his weekly Bible verses. Samuel's favorite Bible verse is 1 Peter 5:7 because it reminds him that God will take care of all his troubles.
