My Name is
Esther
Esther
Esther's father died in 2004 and her mother died a year and a half later. Esther was living with an aunt whose husband also died. This aunt was left with eight children to care for all on her own. She asked social services for help and Esther was approved to live at Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2008. Now Esther is in the 9th grade. She is a good student who enjoys school. One of the classes Esther takes is Hausa. This is a tribal language used in some rural areas of Nigeria. She wants to thank you for your prayers and enabling her to get a good education. She is learning to trust God because He has provided so abundantly for her.
