My Name is
Michael

Michael
After being abandoned by their mother, Kebah and her brother Michael were removed from their abusive caretaker. The whereabouts of their father remain unknown, and no one is sure if the siblings have the same father. Kebah and her brother arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2007. They soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment at the Village. Mike enjoys studying English and believes it will help him in his future career. Mike would like to be either a psychologist, a theologian, or a sociologist in the future. He believes that education is the passport to one's future. He continues to growth spiritually as he relies on the Lord and seeks His face.
