My Name is
Ruth
Ruth
After the death of their parents, Ruth and her two sisters were placed in the care of an aunt. Though she tried, she was unable to care for the girls' basic needs. She was unable to feed and care for the girls and going to school was out of the question. Ruth and her sisters arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2011. Ruth enjoys studying math. She hopes to be an artist one day. Ruth often contemplates on Psalm 23:1 because it tells her that if the Lord is on her side, she shall not worry.
