My Name is
Beniyam
Beniyam
Beniyam was born in Mojo. His mother died when he was three years old; his father abandoned him, giving him to his maternal grandparents. His grandparents were very old and in poor health. They were trying to care for three other grandchildren. They had little income, and the living situation was not good. Their grandmother said God is helping her grandson by sending him to Rafiki. Beniyam arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia on June 1, 2011. Beniyam is now a thoughtful and respectful boy. He is a leader who helps other children be obedient. He likes praying and sharing God's Word with his brothers during family devotion time.
