My Name is
Adonay
Adonay
Adonay's mother tried to abandon him on the street in the Somali Region, but a man from the health station intervened and gave her some money to travel home. She then gave Adonay to his grandmother when he was less than two months old. His grandmother sold cooked maize and clothes to gain a small income. However, she could not support him, and so she sought help from the Rafiki Foundation. Adonay arrived at his new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia, joining his half sister Meklit, in 2012 . She was overjoyed to see her little brother. Now, Adonay is a sweet boy who is growing in listening during devotional time. He enjoys the Bible stories and singing. He prays for his brothers and can memorize short verses of Scripture! He is also growing in understanding repentance and forgiveness.
