Yeabsira
Yeabsira
Not much is known about Yeabsira’s life before he arrived at the Rafiki Village in Ethiopia. He and his brother were abandoned by their dying mother. They were first left with a family on the outskirts of Mojo. When the family could no longer care for the boys, they had no choice but to live on the streets. Pastors and families from two local churches helped the boys on occasion and notified the Rafiki Foundation about their situation, and they arrived in 2012. Yeabsira is starting to lead by example, as he is one of the oldest children in the cottage. He is obedient and seeks to understand the word of God. He reads the Scriptures during family devotion time. Yeabsira prays for his sponsors and others who God provides for his care and education.
