My Name is
Teeweh
Teeweh
Due to the difficult home situation for Teeweh and his older sister, Adele, the Rafiki Foundation welcomed them into the Rafiki family. Teeweh’s father struggled daily under the weight of caring for a son with cerebral palsy, the children’s blind grandmother, and his own kidney disease. He was unemployed and unable to pay his medical bills so he appealed to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare for help. Teeweh arrived at Rafiki Village Liberia in March 2012. Teewah hopes to be a soccer player when he grows up. Right now, he likes to practice drawing famous soccer players after school in his free time. He likes to learn about science as well.
