My Name is
John
John
John has had charm and charisma from a very young age; he is a happy boy with a quick smile despite his difficult start in life. He never knew his father and his mother left him with a caretaker when he was just a year old. John’s caretaker requested help and social welfare contacted the Rafiki Foundation. John arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012. John enjoys attending school and learning, especially when he studies science and the Bible. After his schooling, he hopes to become an architect. John prays that he will study diligently in school and always be prepared for Christ’s return.
