Jessica
Jessica
Jessica was found abandoned as an infant at a community school on September 14, 2009 and was taken to the police station. After the police attempted to find her parents, she was taken to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. She was then taken to a local orphanage for temporary care, and no one came forward to claim her. The Ministry asked Rafiki to care for her permanently, and she arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012. Jessica now enjoys writing and telling stories. She enjoys her grammar class in school because it helps her improve the stories she writes. She believes it is important to get an education so she can continue to write stories to help others learn. Jessica loves Jesus because He died on the cross for her sins. Her favorite Bible verse is James 5:8 because it reminds her to be patient and establish her heart in Christ.
