Thomas
Thomas
Both Thomas' parents died from unknown causes and the people in the village were unable to provide sufficient care for him. Social welfare was concerned with his situation and recommended he be placed at the Rafiki Village. Thomas arrived in August 2006. Thomas is a generally good student but struggles in some. He says he has improved the most in English because he is now more willing to learn in that class. He enjoys earth science class. Thomas wants to be in the Nigerian military when he graduates from Rafiki. Like many young men his age, Thomas needs to learn which examples to follow and how to make wise choices.
