Ruth
Ruth
Since the death of their parents, Ruth and her two sisters were in the care of an aunt. Their aunt had three children of her own and doubling the size of her family over-stretched her resources. She was unable to feed and care for the girls and going to school was out of the question. Ruth and her sisters were placed at the Rafiki Village in Liberia. Ruth really likes her math class because she has a fun teacher who makes it interesting. She hopes to be an artist when she grows up. Ruth is getting good grades this year and is making her mother proud. She loves to play with all of her friends at school as well.
