My Name is
Ermias
Ermias
Ermias' mother was mentally handicapped. She abandoned Ermias and his sister Mehiret and gave them to the care of their grandmother. Their grandmother was extremely poor, and she had no reliable income. Erimas came to live at the the Rafiki Village on October 19th, 2010; Ermias arrived May 4th, 2011. Both brother and sister quickly adjusted to their new home. Now, Ermias loves saying prayers of thanksgiving during our devotion time. He is a grateful boy, eager to thank God in all things. He also loves singing and praying for the other children's teachers. He enjoys praying before bed-time and each morning.
