Luke
Luke
Luke’s father was a soldier and died before he turned three. He and his sister Patience, lived with their 3 older siblings and their mother until she died from a brief illness. Luke's grandmother was impoverished and was unable to care for Patience and Luke, so social welfare determined that it was best that both be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria. That was in 2004. Luke has completed his studies at Rafiki and has been taking computer hardware and software classes at a computer school in Jos. He brought home a report card with all As and Bs. He also helps organize the yearbook committee at Rafiki for the graduating seniors. He is apprenticing with a talented computer specialist and says he is learning many new things.
