Gadissa
Gadissa, along with his sister Feyise, were orphaned in 2008. They were in the care of an aunt, living in a very impoverished situation. Their nutrition and health were both poor. Social Welfare verified that the children were orphans in desperate need of help. Gadissa and Feyise arrived at their new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in March 2011. They now enjoy a hope for their future! Gadissa's favorite subject is science, and he enjoys books about history and adventure. Gadissa likes to preach the gospel to others. He is kind boy who asks many questions about the Scriptures. He likes praying and hopes to be a pastor one day. His favorite Scripture verse is Acts 9:15
