Nehemiah
Nehemiah
Nehemiah’s mother and father are both dead. The aunt caring for Nehemiah is old and in poor health and can no longer care for him. He was approved by social welfare and arrived at his new home, the Rafiki Village Liberia, where he is being treated for worms and an infection in his lungs. Nehemiah loves math because it teaches him how to share food equally with his brothers. He is currently undecided about the future. He believes that God will lead him to his future career. He believes that it is important to be an educated man to help the community.
