Daniel
Daniel
Daniel’s father died in 2006 due to HIV. His mother died when Daniel was two weeks old also from what was believed to be HIV. Daniel lived with his aunt for a while but her husband died and left her with eight children to care for with very limited means. She could not care for her sister’s children, Daniel and his older sister Esther. Both children were approved by Social Welfare and arrived at the Raiki Village in Nigeria in 2009. Daniel is a good student. He started learning French this year and is having fun trying to pronounce the words. He had four A's on his midterm report in grammar, literature, spelling, and agriculture. He likes outside activities during physical education. His art class has been working on making relief painting stamps.
