My Name is
Abraham
Abraham
Abraham’s mother died when he was just nine months old, and his father died when he was twenty months old. His grandmother then cared for him after his parent's death. She struggled to care for him and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Abraham arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. He happily adjusted to his new environment. Now, Abraham is eager to know the Word of God. He likes to sing hymns during family devotions. He also enjoys acting out the Bible through drama, and his favorite Scripture verse is Hebrews 5:5.
