Jeremiah
Jeremiah
Jeremiah was abandoned by both parents at birth. He was cared for by state run orphanage until 2003 when he came to Rafiki Village Nigeria. Jeremiah is now in grade 8. Jeremiah is a good student who enjoys school. He says his favorite teacher is Uncle Douglas because he gives a lot of explanations and examples. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exam results to come back. Jeremiah is a leader and a curious learner who is not afraid to ask questions.
