Social welfare and his aunt felt it best that Isaiah be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria so that he could receive better care. He arrived to his new Rafiki family in 2006. Twelve years later, Isaiah is in the 11th grade. He is a good student who enjoys school. He says his most improved subject is commerce because he is asking more questions in class. He also studies in homework groups with other students. His physics teacher helps him learn well because she uses plenty of examples. He describes education as a process of learning, showing a good attitude, and behaving well.
