My Name is
Bernice
Bernice
After the death of their parents, Bernice and her two sisters were placed in the care of an aunt. Though she tried, their aunt could not properly care for them. She was unable to feed and care for the girls and going to school was out of the question. Bernice and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2011. Bernice enjoys studying math and science because she wants to grow up and be a nurse. She wants to help others and teach them how to be healthy. Bernice's favorite hymn is "Trust and Obey" because it reminds her to trust and obey her God in heaven.
