My Name is
Austin
Austin
Austin’s parents died leaving him an orphan at just one year old. He went to live with an aunt in Monrovia, but she struggled to care for him and provide for his basic needs. When she learned about the Rafiki Foundation, she contacted social welfare to find more information. Austin was accepted into the Village and arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. Austin soon overcame his shyness and proved to be a kind and compassionate young man. He enjoys studying computers and hopes to become an IT specialist after he graduates. Austin praises God for the atoning sacrifice of Christ Jesus and prays that he will learn more about God as he studies his Bible daily.
