My Name is
Romeo
Romeo
Romeo's grandmother cared for him after the death of his parents. She lived in a wooden shack and did not have the resources to send Romeo to school. She contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help, and Romeo arrived at the Rafiki Village Liberia in 2010. Romeo enjoys studying mathematics because it challenges him. He likes solving difficult problems. He hopes to be a lawyer when he grows up, facing challenges and finding ways to help others. Romeo continues to be amazed that Jesus willingly died for his sins, and he knows that only God's joy is everlasting.
