Linda
Linda's parents died in 2004. She was living with her paternal grandmother and a paternal uncle, as well as older teenaged siblings and an older brother, Caleb. They were unable to care for all the children and allowed Linda and her brother Caleb come to Rafiki Nigeria in 2006. Now in grade 10, Linda is a good student who enjoys school and excels in art. She says she learns a lot from teachers Brenda and Tachallomi because they encourage her to maintain standards and set goals for herself. Linda enjoys interacting with others and would like to be a psychologist someday.
