Austin

Austin
In December of 2008 Austin went to live with an aunt in Monrovia after his parents died. Though she tried, his aunt struggled to care for him and provide for his basic needs. She heard about the Rafiki Foundation and contacted social welfare to find out more information. Austin arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia on December 16, 2010. Austin soon proved to be a kind and compassionate young man. Austin enjoys studying mathematics. He wants to be an artist in the future. He loves Christ because He came to died for him, and he understands that only God's peace is eternal.
