Eunice
The father of Eunice died when she was two years old. The mother died a year later. Eunice stayed with her grandmother for a while, but she was unable to take care of Eunice and her younger sister Mary. The sisters came to the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Eunice has completed her studies at Rafiki and is moving to the next step. Eunice will be taking three college entrance exams this fall. Several teachers take turns prepping the graduates for the WAEC (West Africa Examination), NECO (Nigeria Examination) and JAMB (university entrance exam). Excellent marks are required on each exam to be accepted into a university. She wants to go to Bingham University, where several other Rafiki graduates are attending.
