My Name is
Mai
Mai
At age four, Mai was taken by a caretaker to Monrovia, Liberia to begin school. However, instead of being enrolled in school, Mai was made to haul water each morning, sell goods daily in the local market, and then walk home alone each night and do household chores until 10 p.m. Her neighbors noticed what was happening and notified the police. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare ruled Mai to be abandoned: her caretaker fled, and she has no known relatives. She arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2012. Now, Mai hopes to be a nurse when she grows up. She wants to help others feel better and teach them how to be healthy. Her favorite verse is Matthew 11:30.
