Abraham
Abraham
Abraham’s mother died when he was just nine months old. 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 his new home in August of 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 enjoys acting out the Bible through drama. His favorite Scripture verse is Hebrews 5:5.
