My Name is
Stephena
Stephena
Stephena's father was killed by lightning and her mother died, along with Stephena's twin, while giving birth. Stephena then lived with her uncle. Though he tried, he could not provide for her needs while also caring for his family. He asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Stephena was approved by social welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2011. Stephena is an excellent student. She works very hard and receives excellent grades in every school subject. Her favorite subject is grammar because she hopes to be a journalist when she grows up. She loves to interview people and learn about them. She wants to be able to help people and give them a voice through her writing. She reads and meditates on the Word of God often, and she continues to grow stronger in prayer.
