My Name is
Adele
Adele
Adele’s father struggled under the weight of caring for a young son with cerebral palsy, the children’s blind grandmother, and his own kidney disease. He was unemployed and unable to pay his medical bills. He appealed to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare for Adele and her brother, Teeweh, to be placed in a good facility for care and education. In March 2012, they arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia. Adele enjoys studying math and science. She hopes to use her interest in math and science to be an astronaut when she grows up. She enjoys reading the Bible, and her faith has grown by being faithful in prayer. Adele's favorite hymn is "Take My Life and Let It Be."
