Aynalem
Aynalem was three years old when her mother died. Her father remains unknown. She then lived with various relatives. She was living with her uncle and, when he lost his job, he asked the Rafiki Foundation to care for Anynalem. She moved to the Rafiki Village in 2015 and was reunited with her sister Genet! Aynalem was soon happy and thriving in her new environment. She is now polite and friendly, and she enjoys having sisters and friends at the Village. She says her favorite subject is math. She is thankful that God has opened up her mind and helped her to learn in school. Aynalem's favorite hymn is "Come Thou Fount" because it reminds her of God's unchanging love and to praise him always.
