Simon
Both of Simon’s parents were farmers and died from unknown causes. Simon’s older siblings were living with him in one room and could not properly care for him. Social welfare recommended he come to Rafiki Village Nigeria. Simon arrived in August 2006. Noe in grade 9, Simon is a generally good student who enjoys school. He has been spending more time studying and asking questions to understand math. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exam results to come back. Simon must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January.
