Samuel
Samuel
Samuel and his twin brother, Joshua, arrived at Rafiki Village Liberia in July 2013. Their mother had passed away after contracting malaria and the father died of natural causes in May 2013. The boys ended up with a old grandmother who could not properly care for them. When found they were dirty and malnourished. The village they lived in were happy to let the boys go and have a better chance at life and education. Samuel and Joshua are well on their way to recovery and good health now. Samuel loves learning about math. He enjoys counting numbers and has started reading his first book. He loves soccer and wants to be a soccer player. He is excellent at memorizing his weekly Bible verses.
