My Name is
Odel
Odel
Odel was in the care of an aunt after her parents abandoned her. Though she tried, her aunt struggled to care for Odel and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Odel arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. She soon began to blossom under the loving care of her Rafiki Mother. Odel enjoys studying mathematics because she likes to learn about numbers and to solve problems. She hopes to be a teacher when she grows up. She loves Jesus because He loved her first and died for her sins.
