Robel
Robel
Robel and his sister Etsub lived with their mother when she became terminally ill with liver disease. When she became weak, she and the children moved in with her sister. Their mother was familiar with Rafiki and expressed her desire for the children to be placed at the Rafiki Village when she died. Her sister was unable to care for her niece and nephew due to financial constraints and responsibilities with her own children. Robel and Etsub arrived at Rafiki Village Ethiopia in August 2014. Robel now continues to grow spiritually. He enjoys hymns and singing during family devotions. Robel is attentive to Bible-reading during devotions. He memorizes the Scripture verses easily. He prays to be an obedient student and to listen to the wise advice of both older and younger people.
