Simon
Simon
Both of Simon’s parents were farmers and died from unknown causes. Simon’s older siblings were living with him in one room, and they could not properly care for him. Social welfare recommended he be placed in the Rafiki Village Nigeria, and he arrived in August 2006. Simon now enjoys school. He also enjoys studying God's Word and learning more about God. He is fascinated by the fact that God is omnipresent. When he is afraid, it comforts Simon to know that God is always with him and will protect him. He enjoys reading the book of Proverbs because it gives him insight on how to be wise.
