My Name is
Gabriel

Gabriel
Gabriel’s mother died in an accident, and his father died of complications from malaria. Gabriel and his half brother, Adam, lived with their maternal grandmother after the death of their father. Living conditions were poor, and there was little chance the boys would have an opportunity to attend school. The Social Welfare officer examined the situation and the decision was made to move them to the Rafiki Village Liberia in May 2010. Gabriel wants to be a scientist when he grows up, so he naturally enjoys his science class. He enjoys learning about the human body because he wants to teach others how to be healthy. He also loves animals and wants to study and take care of them in the future. His favorite hymn is "When I Survey The Wondrous Cross" because it reminds him that Jesus died on the cross to save him from sin and death. He thanks Jesus for interceding on his behalf before the Father.
