My Name is
Abel
Abel
Abel's mother died when he was one year old, and his father remains unknown. His elderly grandmother cared for him after his mother's death. Because she was concerned about Abel's future care, she sought help from social welfare services. After being approved, Abel arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. He soon bonded with his Rafiki Mother and siblings. His favorite subject is science because he loves performing experiments and using a microscope. Abel has a heart for prayer, and he enjoys comparing his notes from Bible study with his Rafiki brothers. His favorite Bible passage is Psalm 29 because it teaches him to be wise and obedient.
