My Name is
Peter
Peter
Peter’s grandmother and other relatives cared for him after the death of his parents. Though she tried, Peter's elderly grandmother struggled to care for him and send him to school. Social welfare services contacted the Rafiki Foundation, and he arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. Peter says his favorite Bible character is Samson. Peter enjoys studying science and learning about historic scientific inventions. He thinks he may like to be a scientist one day. Peter loves to learn in school and read any book he can get his hands on. He knows that Jesus is the giver of true peace and joy. His favorite Bible verse is John 6:27 because it reminds him to work hard and anticipate eternity with Christ.
