Julie
Julie
Since the death of their parents, Julie and her two sisters were in the care of an aunt. Their aunt had three children of her own and doubling the size of her family over-stretched her resources. She was unable to feed and care for the girls and going to school was out of the question. Julie and her sisters were placed at the Rafiki Village in Liberia. Julie loves to learn about God's creation. She likes to learn in her science class because her teacher makes the information interesting. She wants to be a musician when she grows up. She also wants to be a leader when she grows up that her family can depend on.
