My Name is
Dagim
Dagim
Dagim's mother died shortly after his birth. A generous woman in Mojo found him in a nearby village while attending a funeral; she brought him into her home and cared for him. When she found him, he was sleeping outside with the animals. His caretaker heard about the Rafiki Foundation through a teacher. Dagim was approved by social welfare and was brought to the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in September 2009. Dagim has bright eyes, and he is quick to learn. Now, Dagim reads the Bible with help. During family devotions, he wants to lead his brothers. Dagim has a good sense of humor. He is also a loving child, and his favorite Scripture verse is Psalm 111:7.
