My Name is
Nehemiah

Nehemiah
Both Nehemiah’s mother and father are deceased. He was placed in the care of an impoverished aunt who, though she tried, could not provide for his basic needs. He was approved by social welfare and arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2009. After receiving needed medical attention, Nehemiah began to thrive in his new environment. Nehemiah enjoys studying math, and he believes that it is important to be an educated man to help the community. He loves Jesus because Jesus died for his sins and advocates and intercedes on his behalf. He thanks God for the many opportunities he has at Rafiki.
