My Name is
Grace
Grace
Grace's parents died within one year of each other, and she was then put in the care of a maternal aunt. Though she tried, her aunt could not provide for Grace's basic needs or send her to school. Grace arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in December 2009 with lots of smiles and an eagerness to go to school. Grace enjoys studying social studies and memorizing facts. She hopes to be one of three things: an artist, a doctor, or an actress. She loves Jesus Christ because His sacrifice enables her to come before her Father in heaven. Her favorite hymn is "Be Thou My Vision" because it reminds her to ask God to lead her.
