My Name is
Benjamin

Benjamin
Benjamin faced a childhood trauma when his mother was killed in the Liberian Civil War. A kind woman found him and he stayed with her family after she found him, but she struggled to care for him and her other children. The Red Cross approached the Ministry of Social Welfare for help, and they recommended placement with Rafiki. Benjamin now thrives in his home at the Rafiki Village Liberia. Ben loves to learn new things. He hopes to be a mechanic when he grows up. In his free time, he is always eager to learn how to fix or build different things in the workshop. He knows that Jesus is the only person who will never let him down. He continues to grow spiritually as he reads his Bible every day and strives to imitate Christ.
