My Name is
Priscilla
Priscilla
Priscilla and her brother literally lost their father in January 2000, when he went missing after riots broke out near their village. Considered orphans when their mother died in 2001, they lived with their uncle, a pastor. He had his own four children to care for and was unable to care for his niece and nephew. Priscilla and her brother came to live at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2004. Today Priscilla is in the 11th grade. Priscilla is a good student who enjoys school. She excels in computer class. She says her most improved subject is economics because of the oral presentation she prepared and gave to the rest of the class. When she finishes school, she wants to be a journalist.
