My Name is
Abel
Abel
Abel was found abandoned as a baby. An orphanage was unable to find his birth parents or an adoptive home for him, so Abel was referred to the Rafiki Village Kenya. He arrived in 2009 and settled in well to his new home. Abel enjoys mathematics, language arts, and is very orderly. He is godly in character and shows leadership abilities, often leading group discussions and coordinating group projects. Abel thanks God for the opportunity to study Scripture at Rafiki and prays that all he does will bring glory to God.
