Cephas
Cephas
Cephas father died just before he was born. His mother died when he was four years old. None of his extended family had the financial means to take care of him. Social welfare then recommended that Cephas come to live at the Rafiki VillageNigeria. He joined his new family in 2005. Cephas has completed his education at the Rafiki School. The next step is to take three college entrance exams this fall. Several teachers take turns prepping the graduates for the WAEC (West Africa Examination), NECO (Nigeria Examination), and JAMB (university entrance exam). Excellent marks are required on each exam to be accepted into a university. He wants to go to Bingham University, where several other Rafiki graduates are attending.
