My Name is
Jummai

Jummai
Both Jummai's parents died within two years of each other, and Jummai and her brother, Ezekiel, were left to be raised by her grandmother. Social welfare was concerned about their well-being and recommended the children to Rafiki. Jummai and Ezekiel arrived at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2006. Jummai is now an excellent student who enjoys school. She is articulate and diligent in her studies. She says education is important because it stirs up an acute sense of responsibility in one's words and actions. Jummai loves that she sees God everywhere in His creation. She wants to be a lawyer when she finishes school, and she relishes the thought of being able to help others.
