Yigerem
Yigerem
In 2001, the parents of Yigerem died and his uncle began caring for him. However, he has very little resources and asked Social Welfare for help. Yigerem was brought to his new home, the Rafiki Village Ethiopia, September 23,2010. Since his arrival at the Village, Yigerem is happy and loves to laugh and play. He is outgoing and loving; always quick to offer a greeting, smile, and hug to others. He is learning many songs and his current favorite is “Jesus Loves Me”.
