My Name is
Besufekad
Besufekad
Besufekad’s mother had mental-health problems and could not properly care for 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 2014. Besufekad now has an easy-going personality. He is social and enjoys conversing with others. His favorite hymn is "Holy, Holy, Holy" because it reminds him that God alone is holy.
