Isaac
Isaac
The mother of Isaac died while delivering him and the father died the next year in a car accident. Isaac and his brother Esau lived with their grandmother who passed away, and then an aunt, who unable to provide for them, brought them to relatives living in a community in Monrovia in the midst of a garbage dump where living conditions are deplorable. Living in a home, made of reed mats, with minimal supervision, the Social Welfare contacted Rafiki Foundation about these two young boys. Since 2010, Isaac has had a bed of his own at the Rafiki Village in Liberia. Isaac hopes to be a pilot when he grows up. He wants to visit new countries he has never seen before. His favorite subject is Social Studies because he loves to learn about his people's history.
