My Name is
Simeon
Simeon
In 2009, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare closed an orphanage due to adoption violations. Thirty-five children were removed from the facility. The ministry then proceeded to reunite children with families. Simeon was about three years old at the time. In spite of thorough investigations, the ministry was unable to locate any family members. It is unclear in what village or county he was born, and no family has ever come looking for him. The ministry has deemed him to be a true orphan. Simeon arrived at his new home Rafiki Village Liberia. Simeon loves to learn about science. He hopes to be a pilot when he grows up. He also enjoys learning about the solar system. However, he believes that doing your best in school is important because it will help you be successful.
