Hana
Hana
Hana’s mother died in childbirth in 2008, and her father disappeared. She had no real caregiver and floated between living at her uncle's, neighbor's, and a local church. The local court certified that Hana was abandoned. They asked that Hana be placed at Rafiki Village Ethiopia. She arrived in May 2010 and soon thrived in her new, loving environment. Her favorite subject is grammar, and she likes to read all kinds of books. Hana reads God's word daily and strives to apply it to her daily life, and she loves to pray!
