Thomas
Both Thomas's parents died from unknown causes when he was a young child, and the people in his village were unable to provide sufficient care for him.

He would like to be in the Nigerian military in the future. He is known for showing kindness to those around him in the Village and is committed to learning more about God and how God calls him to love others. In his worship, reading, and prayer, Thomas is devoted to learning more about Jesus.
