Abigail
Both of Abigail’s parents are deceased. Her father passed away the year she was born and her mother died a year later. She has an older sister Hannah. Both lived with distant relatives for a while who were also caring for thirteen children of their own. They were unable to care for Abigail and her sister. Social welfare determined that she would benefit from the care of Rafiki and so she and her sister were placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2005. Currently Abigail is in grade 9 and shel enjoys being it. She says the teacher she learns the most from is teacher Victoria, who teaches English and language arts, because this teacher makes sure that the students understand what is being taught before continuing to the next topic. Abigail is learning to do mirror drawing in art class. When she finishes with school, she wants to be a journalist or lawyer.
