Miriam
Miriam
Miriam and her younger brother Daniel were placed with their grandfather when their parents died. The grandfather was too burdened with eight other children to continue caring for them. Both Miriam and her brother were placed by Social Welfare at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in July 2005. Miriam has completed her studies at the Rafiki School. This fall she will be taking three college entrance exams. Several teachers take turns prepping the graduates for the WAEC (West Africa Examination), NECO (Nigeria Examination), and JAMB (university entrance exam). Excellent marks are required on each exam to be accepted into a university. She wants to go to Bingham University, where several other Rafiki graduates are attending.
