Faith
Faith’s mother died giving birth to her and her father is unknown. Faith was in the care of her grandmother after the death of her mother. There were no other family members to care for Faith and her grandmother could not continue. Faith was malnourished, slept on a palm mat, and her clothing was shabby. Because of the situation, her family asked Rafiki for help. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia, in October 2010. Faith really likes learning about Math and English. She hopes to be a journalist when she grows up. She wants to be able to interview people and share their stories.
