My Name is
Meseret
Meseret
Social Welfare approached the Rafiki Foundation regarding Meseret's care. She is a double orphan: both of her parents died of an illness. Her maternal aunt was her primary caregiver, but she abandoned Meseret and gave her to a previous employer. Meseret was approved by the Rafiki Foundation and arrived at her new home at the Village in Mojo, Ethiopia. She soon happily settled in with her new Rafiki Mother and sisters. Now, Meseret finds the Bible interesting. She reads the Bible with other girls in the cottage. She loves singing hymns during our devotion time. She is growing in praying for the needs expressed in our cottage. Meseret also loves to share the memory verse in church.
