My Name is
Caleb
Caleb
Caleb’s parents died when he was four years old and his relatives are unable to care for him as they are impoverished and relied on subsistence farming. Caleb was referred by social welfare to the Rafiki Village in Jos, Nigeria and arrived to his new home in May 2006. Caleb is a fairly good student who likes school. He excels in computer science and technical drawing. Caleb is partnering with another Rafiki student in designing and making cards. They are very well-made and beautifully done. He wants to go into large-scale farming with big equipment. When he visits his extended family during school breaks, they encourage him to do well in school.
