Reuben
Reuben
Reuben’s mother died in 2007, and his father is unknown. After his mother's death, he was placed in the care of his elderly, impoverished grandparents. Though they tried, they could not provide for his basic needs. Reuben arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2009. Reuben is an overall excellent student. When he finishes school, he wants to become a civil engineer. He says God is carving a place in his mind to love learning. Reuben is thankful to serve a God who is faithful and never leaves him.
