Joseph
Joseph
Joseph was abandoned by both parents at birth and was being cared for by state run orphanage just outside of Jos, Nigeria. At age three, he was screened and approved to come the Rafiki Village Nigeria. He became a member of the Rafiki family in July 2003. He is currently in grade level 8. In civics, Joseph is learning about the qualities of being a good leader. The teacher is encouraging him to develop qualities of honesty, self-discipline, cooperation, and integrity. Joseph is trying to explore areas where he might have hidden talents. His grades probably will not allow him to go much further in school. Joseph is receiving extra instruction in language arts and math.
