My Name is
Adam
Adam
Little is know about Adam's family and his parents whereabouts. At a young age, he was left in the care of a thirteen-year-old girl. The neighbors were concerned that the child was not being cared for and notified police. The police brought Adam to a children’s home. After a number of months, all attempts at tracing any family were unsuccessful. Social workers and the Ministry of Health recommended Adam be placed at the Rafiki Foundation. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2007. Adam really enjoys learning about grammar. He also likes to read books and draw his own illustrations, and he is an amazing artist. Adam knows that God have him the great privilege of coming to Rafiki and getting a sponsor. Psalm 34:8 is dear to Adam because it reminds him to take refuge in the Lord.
