Judith
Judith
Judith's parents were killed in tribal clashes in 2002. Living relations were having great difficulty caring for his physical, spiritual and other needs. When missionaries went to screen the children it was apparent that the uncle was unable to care for the children due to lack of resources. Judith and her brother Josiah came to the Village 2004. Currently Judith is in the 11th grade. Judith enjoys school. She says she learns the most from her English teacher because she is always ready to help when students don't understand, and she patiently explains concepts again. Judith is learning to discipline herself in school without waiting to be corrected by an adult. She thinks education is important because it helps improve our knowledge of life skills.
