My Name is
Rebecca
Rebecca
Rebecca’s mother died and her father was killed when she was a young child. She was then left in the care of her struggling aunt and uncle. Though they tried, they could not provide for Rebecca's basic needs. A social worker visited the household and recommended Rebecca be placed at the Rafiki Village Liberia. Rebecca arrived at the Village in June 2009 and blossomed in her new environment. Rebecca’s favorite subject is science. She loves Jesus because He created her, saved her, and brought her to Rafiki. Since coming to the Rafiki Village Liberia, Rebecca has been baptized. It is a goal of hers to bring others to Christ.
