My Name is
Leul
Leul
Leul and his brother Zerubabel were in their's aunts care prior to coming to the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in September 2012. Their aunt was a widow who took them in after the death of their father and the disappearance of their mother. She was already caring for her own three children and the extra responsibility of providing for the two boys was too much for her. The brothers were malnourished and underweight. Now, though, they are healthy and live happy lives! Leul’s smile and laughter are contagious. Leul journals and enjoys writing and sharing truths from Scripture. He listens attentively during family devotions and enjoys worship. Leul also quickly memorizes Scripture verses.
