My Name is
Malesse
Malesse
Malesse and his twin sister, Zalalem, were orphaned when they were only a year old. Their mother became pregnant while working at a hotel, and their father was never a part of their lives. When their mother died, a cousin and his mother cared for the twins. Because of poor health, they could no longer provide for the children, and the situation became desperate. The Women and Children’s Agency in Mojo, Ethiopia contacted Rafiki. The twins happily settled into their new home at Rafiki in 2015. Malesse enjoys studying Amharic, a traditional Ethiopian language. Malesse continues to grow spiritually. His favorite hymn is "Trust and Obey" because it reminds him to obey God and trust Him.
