My Name is
Feraol

Feraol
Feraol's mother abandoned her when she was one month old. Her father also remains unknown. Feraol was verified as abandoned by social welfare services, and they asked the Rafiki Foundation to take over her care. Feraol arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in August 2010. She now has a bright future filled with hope. Feraol enjoys studying the Bible, and she reads the Bible with other Rafiki girls often. Her favorite Bible verse is Matthew 7:7–8 because it teaches her to obey God and trust Him more.
