Chukwudi
Chukwudi is a double orphan; his father died in 2005, and his mother died in 2008. After his mother's death, he was placed in the care of his widowed great-grandmother. Though she tried, she could not care for Chukwudi's basic needs. Social welfare services recommended that he be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria, and he arrived in 2009. Chukwudi is a good student who especially enjoys art. He has continued to see God's provision and the power of prayer in his life. Chukwudi prays to look more like Christ every single day.
