Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Emmanuel had been cared for by a pastor and his wife of a small Baptist church in his village after his mother died. He arrived at Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2006. Today he is in the 9th grade! Emmanuel is an excellent student. He says his most improved subject is math because he wants to solve problems well. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exam. Emmanuel must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January.
