Juliet
Juliet
Both of Juliet’s parents died when she was about two years old and she was living with her impoverished grandmother. Social welfare was concerned with her living conditions and they, with the permission of the grandmother, referred her to the Rafiki Village in Jos, Nigeria. Juliet arrived in September 2006.She is now in the 9th grade and is a good student who likes school. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exams to come back. Juliet must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January. Juliet enjoys reading books and using her imagination. She says she wants to be a lab scientist or a theologian when she finishes school.
