My Name is
Timothy
Timothy
Timothy’s father died in 2002 of whooping cough and several months later his mother died after a brief period of illness. Timothy was staying with a relation of his mother who is unemployed and unable to care for Timothy. He and his sister Tracy have come to live at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2005. Currently Timothy is in the 9th grade. We are waiting for the results of one of the Grade 9 national exam results to come back. Timothy must have passing grades in all subjects to advance to senior secondary school in January. Timothy's favorite class is art; he is a budding young artist who loves to draw and paint.
