Bulus
Bulus
Bulus and his brother Mika had been in the care of their elderly grandparents since the death of their parents. The grandparents struggled to provide the basic needs for the boys. Social welfare reviewed the situation and determined the best place for the two brothers was in a stable home environment. The Rafiki Foundation was contacted and Bulus and Mika arrived at their new home at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in February 2010. Bulus is enjoying being in Primary 5 class with Teacher Joseph. He likes the way he waits for everyone to share when he asks a question. Bulus loves playing soccer and basketball in physical education class. In art, he has been learning how to create interesting stamps. He says that he is trying to ask more questions when he doesn't understand something in class. He is also starting to learn French.
