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 of his family members. It is unclear in what village or county he was born, and no family has ever come looking for him. Simeon arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2011. He now enjoys studying science, and he hopes to be a pilot when he grows up. He continues to grow in his courage and faith. He loves Christ because He opened the door of heaven for him. Simeon knows that with Jesus, nothing is impossible.
