Comfort
Comfort was born in 2001 and is the youngest of 9 children. Both of Comfort’s parents died. She and her siblings were taken care of by extended family, but due to their financial situation it was difficult for them to properly care for the her. Social welfare and the extended family felt that it would be best to place the Comfort with Rafiki. She came to the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Today she is in grade 11. Comfort is a good student who enjoys school. She says she has improved most in physics because she is beginning to understand the main concepts this year. She says the teacher who helps her "push her brain" is Teacher Belen, and this makes her excited to go to her class and see what is being taught each day. She is considering studying one of the sciences at a university.
