George Bennie Shares Stories of his Childhood in Africa
Mr. Bennie spends his time at RMS taking care of our building, but his message to our students last week was all about taking care of one another. His childhood in war-torn Liberia and his six years in a refugee camp were stark reminders of how blessed we are, and how we need to learn to appreciate all we have. The students were mesmerized by George's honesty, and their discussions after his visit were truly touching. Every student wrote a note of gratitude to George, and many mentioned how fortunate they feel. George talked about how kids in Africa look out for one another, and while they have very little material wealth, they learn to share and take care of each other while respecting their elders. Thank you for helping Africa come alive for our students, George Bennie. YOU are a blessing to RMS!
