My Name is
Pererat
Pererat
Pererat’s mother died after his birth. His father disappeared after the Jos riots in 2008. An aunt was caring for Pererat after the death of his mother. She was a widow and needy herself. Social Welfare recommended placement at the Rafiki Village Nigeria. Pererat arrived in November 2009. Today he likes being in Primary 5 class but has noticed it is harder than last year. He had a rough start, but he has improved his grades in literature and social studies. He started learning French this year and is having fun trying to pronounce the words. In art he is learning to do relief printing. The surface of a block is etched away, leaving only the surface design to be printed. He enjoys it.
