Joshua
Both of Joshua’s parents are deceased. His father died from a brief illness in 2004 and his mother died when Joshua was two years old. Joshua had been living with his elderly, impoverished grandmother who was also taking care of seven other children. Social welfare deemed it best that Joshua be sent to the Rafiki Village Nigeria and he arrived in 2005. Joshua is a fairly good student who excels in biology, civics, and art. He says he learns best by going on field trips because it gives him a vivid look at things he's learning. Joshua says education is important because it takes us farther than just our physical abilities and helps us make important decisions about our future.
