My Name is
Yordanos
Yordanos
Yordanos’ mother abandoned her in 2006. Her mother left Yordanos with her grandfather, and she never returned. Her grandfather was very poor and could not care for Yordaos. Her grandfather asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Yordanos arrived at her new home at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in July of 2010. She has happily adjusted to her new environment and enjoys going to school. She has a strong faith, and she encourages others. She says, "In my spiritual life, I feel God is growing me to be nicer and to be a good child of God. In some ways, I still act or live incorrectly. I know that God's Word tells us that if we confess and believe, we are forgiven. I will say sorry when I make mistakes or sin. I love to sing to God. I asked God to give me a special song, praying that He will give me a special song of praise. I love to pray when I am happy or sad. School can be difficult, but I pray that God will open my mind and help me to work hard. I want to live according to the Word of God."
