My Name is
Abel

Abel
After Abel's mother was killed in a car accident, an elderly neighbor brought Abel into her home. Abel's mother had asked her if she would care for Abel if anything happened to her. She had very little income, so Abel basically lived on the street begging for food and slept at this woman's home. She eventually contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Abel arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2011. Abel now enjoys engaging with others in prayer and worship. He listens attentively to the Scriptures and praises God for helping him in everything. Abel continues to pray for God's help to do his best in school and glorify Him.
