My Name is
Hana
Hana
Hana’s mother died in 2008, and her father remains unknown. She had no real caregiver and floated between living at her uncle's, neighbor's, and a local church. After the local court certified that Hana was abandoned, they asked that she be placed at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia. She arrived in May 2010 and soon thrived in her new, loving environment. Her favorite subject is grammar, and she is an avid reader. Hana reads God's Word daily and strives to apply it to her daily life, and she also prays consistently. She loves Jesus dearly, and He is her closest friend.
