Joe
Joe was put in the care of an aunt when his mother and father died. They heard about the Rafiki Foundation and hoped that Rafiki would consider giving this boy a chance for a good education. Joe became a part of the family at Rafiki Village Liberia and started school in January 2012. Joe is very smart and works hard in school. His favorite subject is History. 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.
