My Name is
Ashenofi
Ashenofi
Both Ashenofi's parents died within a year of each other, and he lived with an aunt after their deaths. However, his aunt was unable to properly care for his basic needs, and social welfare services contacted the Rafiki Foundation. Ashenofi arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2011. He soon became a delight to his new siblings and his Rafiki Mother. Ashenofi enjoys helping others, singing in devotions, and loving the Lord Jesus Christ. He says that the Holy Spirit has helped him grow by strengthening his belief in God. Ashenofi's favorite hymn is "Trust and Obey" because it reminds him to trust and obey God.
