My Name is
Zerubabel
Zerubabel
Zerubabel arrived at the Rafiki Village in Ethiopia on September 3rd, 2012. He was malnourished and underweight due to his difficult situation before his arrival at the Village. His caregiver was a widow. Caring for her own children, Zerubabel, and his brother Leul was too much for her. She cared for the boys after their father's death and mother's disapperance. Zerubabel likes reading the Bible, and he enjoys the stories and truths from the Scriptures. Zerubabel prays each day for a growing understanding of God and for wisdom in school.
