My Name is
Yesunesh
Yesunesh
Yesunesh was born in Mojo. Her father died when she was only a few months old, and her mother left a few months after that. Her paternal uncle cared for her before she came to Rafiki. He was a day laborer and left her with a neighbor during the day. He did not make enough money to care for her, so he asked for help from social services. Yesunesh arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in November 2010. Since then, she has bonded well with her Rafiki Mother and siblings and enjoyed learning new things in school. Yesunesh reads a lot and now gives more attention to the Bible. She is eager to learn more about God's Word, but struggles with being prideful in her own abilities sometimes. Pray that she develops a humble and grateful attitude for the gifts God has given her.
