Besufekad
Besufekad
Besufekad’s mother had mental health problems and could not properly care for her him. The local community looked out for him for the first four years of his life. At one point, he lived on the street until a volunteer with a local ministry took him in; she referred him to the Rafiki Foundation for a permanent home. He arrived at Rafiki Village Ethiopia in August 2014. Besufekad is now happy at his home with his Rafiki Mother and family. He has an easy-going personality. Besufekad is social and loves others. He reads the Bible and is eager to understand the Word of God. Besufekad enjoys helping others. He enjoys singing during devotions, and he loves the Lord Jesus Christ!
