My Name is
Winston
Winston
Both of Winston’s parents are deceased. After their deaths, Winston lived with his elderly, impoverished grandmother in the Buchanan area. Though she tried, she struggled to provide for his basic needs. She asked the Rafiki Foundation to assume the care of Winston. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2009. Winston enjoys learning about math and grammar because these are skills that will make him become a successful leader. When Winston grows up, he hopes to be a theologian or a psychologist. He has a deep desire to help others. He continues to be amazed that Jesus gave His life as a ransom, and he is thankful that his sins are forgiven.
