Blessing
Blessing’s father died in a motor accident before she was born. Her mother died three weeks after her birth. She was living with her aunt who had five children of her own. Social Service investigated and determined that she should be placed in the care of the Rafiki Village Nigeria. She arrived at Rafiki in 2010. Blessing is a good student who enjoys being in Primary 6 class with Teacher Jerry. She says he is strict about what happens in class and encourages her to do her best. When she grows up, she wants to be a teacher. In art class, she is learning how to carve things and make relief pattern stamps. She started learning French this year and is having fun trying to pronounce the words.
