My Name is
Joe
Joe
Joe was placed in the care of an aunt after his mother and father died. Though she tried, she could not provide for his basic needs and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Joe arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012. Joe soon proved to be a very smart young man who works hard in school. His favorite subject is history because he likes to learn about his country and other countries around the world. He hopes to be a lawyer or a pilot when he grows up. He continues to grow in humility and obedience as he reads the Bible each day.
