Tamar’s father died in 2002 of whooping cough and several months later her mother died after a brief period of illness. Tamar was staying with a relation of her mother who was unemployed and unable to care for her. She and her brother Timothy came to live at the Rafiki Village Nigeria in 2005. Tamar is currently in the 8th grade. She enjoys going to school with the rest of her friends. When asked who encourages her the most in her learning, she said her cottage sisters encourage her to read and study during homework time. In civics, her teacher encourages her to develop the qualities of honesty, self-discipline, cooperation, and integrity. Tamar is receiving extra instruction in language arts and math.
