My Name is
Nikolas
Nikolas
After his parents died his grandmother then cared for him but she had rapidly declining health. She contacted Social Welfare for help. They recommended Nikolas be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria. He arrived in March 2009. Nikolas is a good student, but he struggles in math. His favorite teacher is Auntie Tachallomi because she is one who expects his best behavior and attitude at school. In art, he is making a collage with beads. He says he thinks education is about more than just pursuing a career; it testifies to others in the way we relate to people and in how we support our local community.
