My Name is
Adam
Adam
Adam’s mother died giving birth to him, and his father died from complications of malaria. Adam and his half brother, Gabriel, lived with their grandmother after their father died. Living conditions were poor, and there was little chance the boys would have an opportunity to attend school. A social welfare officer examined the situation and the decision was made to move them to the Rafiki Village Liberia. Adam enjoys studying social studies because he gets to learn about his community and country. Adam is not quite sure what he wants to be when he grows up; however, he believes that God will lead him in his future. He believes that it is important to do his best in school because his generation will be the future leaders of the country. Adam says he loves Jesus because He left all the His riches in heaven to die for us.
