My Name is
Robel

Robel
Robel and his sister, Etsub, lived with their mother until she became terminally ill with liver disease. Their mother was familiar with Rafiki and expressed her desire for the children to be placed at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia after she died. Robel and Etsub arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2014. Robel now continues to grow spiritually. He enjoys singing hymns during family devotions. Robel is attentive to Bible-reading during devotions, and he memorizes the Scripture verses easily. He prays to be an obedient student and to listen to the wise counsel he receives at the Village.
