Grace
Grace
Within one year Grace was orphaned twice and was put in the care of a maternal aunt. Fifteen children with five mothers were living in this household, in which there were three babies younger than five months old. When Rafiki Foundation interviewed the family, Grace was a pleasant little girl, thin and unkempt, who understood English well but she was unable to attend school. She came to live at Rafiki Village Liberia in December 2009 with lots of smiles and an eagerness to go to school. Grace enjoys learning about historical facts in her social studies class. She likes to learn about her country and her freedom. She hopes to be one of three things: an artist, a doctor, or an actress.
