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 impoverished grandmother. Because their grandmother had no reliable income, she sought help for the children. Erimas arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2011, and he soon adjusted well to his new home with quality care, nutritious food, and a loving family. Now, Ermias is a thankful young man, eager to thank God in all things. His favorite hymn is "Trust and Obey" because it teaches him to trust and obey Jesus.
