Daniel
Daniel
Daniel and his sister, Miriam, were placed with their grandfather when their parents died. The grandfather was too burdened with eight other children to continue caring for them. Both Daniel and his sister were placed by Social Welfare at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in July 2005. Dan likes school, especially art class. He is learning many new concepts in school, and it may take him a while to settle into the classwork. Dan says he learns best by studying in small groups and through class discussions. He says education is valuable because it helps us learn how to express ourselves to others and how to live in society.
