Timothy
Timothy was abandoned at a church as a small child. The police conducted a search, but they were not able to find anyone who knew the child’s identity. After failing to find a family to take him, Timothy arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in January 2010. Timothy enjoys playing soccer and basketball with his brothers. He is thankful to the Lord for providing him with a family at Rafiki. Timothy enjoys studying the Bible, and he strives to remind himself of God's goodness daily.
