My Name is
Mika
Mika
Mika and his brother, Bulus, had been in the care of their elderly grandparents after the death of their parents. Though they tried, the grandparents struggled to provide for the boys' basic needs. Social welfare reviewed the situation and contacted Rafiki. Mika and Bulus arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in February 2010. Now, Mika's strongest subjects are grammar, science, and Hausa: a local language. Through the Rafiki Bible Study and family devotionals, Mika has learned the importance of trusting God and being a person of integrity. He hopes to encourage others just as the Bible has encouraged him.
