George
George
When 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 and struggled to meet the needs of a two-year-old boy. She could no longer carry him on her back at her job selling fish in the market. George was placed at Rafiki Village Liberia in October 2011 and his aunt is very grateful. George likes to sing, and he sings with great enthusiasm during family devotions. He also likes going to church with his Rafiki family. George loves learning about science and hopes to be a scientist when he grows up. He also enjoys his grammar class. He loves to read new books in class and answer the teacher's questions.
