Odel
Odel was in the care of an aunt after her parents abandoned her. She struggled to care for Odel and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Odel arrived at her new home, the Rafiki Village Liberia, in June of 2010. She is blossoming under the loving care of her Rafiki Mother. She loves looking at books and often “reads” to her new doll. Odel is healthy and happy in her new home. Her Rafiki Mother says that Odel is eager to read scripture and likes to pray during their family devotions. Odel has really been enjoying her math class because she likes to learn about numbers and solve problems. She hopes to be a teacher when she grows up. She belives that it is important to do your best so you can help others to be educated.
