Mary
Mary
Mary came to live at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Mary is a good student who enjoys school. She says the teacher who she learns the most from is her Bible teacher, Nanmet. He emphasizes important points, explains things clearly, and gives good practical examples. When she finishes school, she thinks she may want to take a tailoring course because sewing seems fun and artistic. She likes to work with her hands.
