Adele
Adele
Adele’s father struggled daily under the weight of caring for a young son with cerebral palsy, the children’s blind grandmother, and his own kidney disease, which will eventually prove fatal. He was unemployed and unable to pay his medical bills. The father appealed to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare for Adele and her brother, Teeweh, to be placed in a good facility for care and education. So in March 2012, they came to live at Rafiki Village Liberia. Adele really loves to learn about math and science. She hopes to use her interest in math and science to be an astronaut when she grows up. She loves going to school because she likes to learn new things every day. She also likes to play with new friends during P.E.
