George
After George’s mother and father died, he was placed in the care of his sixteen-year-old aunt. She cared for George for two years, but she struggled to meet the needs of a two-year-old boy. George arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2011, and his aunt was very grateful. George now enjoys singing, especially hymns. He also enjoys studying science and hopes to be a scientist when he grows up. George enjoys reading new books in class and engaging in discussion. One of his favorite Bible passages is Psalm 23, and he admires David's faith.
