My Name is
Blessing
Blessing
Blessing lost her father before she was born and her mother ran away in 2000 and was returned to the village dead in 2002. Her grandmother was unable to give her proper care. Blessing came to the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2003. Today she is in her second year at Bingham University. She is taking eleven courses, most of them related to economics. With this kind of course load, she is very busy, no doubt. From all reports, she is doing well in her classes.
