Jonathan
Jonathan
Not much is known about Jonathan’s parents. The woman who was his caretaker brought him from Sierra Leone to Liberia during the 2002 war. Someone there gave him to her telling her, “this is your son.” His caretaker died in 2007 and Jonathan was brought to an orphanage in Brewersville, Liberia. The government has tried to close the orphanage because the operator, Mr. Toe, and his wife are aging. Social welfare approved Jonathan for placement at the Rafiki Village in Liberia where he is thriving in his new environment. Jonathan's favorite subject is math because he likes to solve problems. He hopes to join the military to protect his country.
