My Name is
Abraham

Abraham
After Abraham's mother died, he was sent to live with his aunt. She sold food from a small stand and struggled to provide for Abraham and her own children, so she contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Abraham arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in January 2011. He soon adjusted well and embraced his Rafiki mother and brothers in his cottage. Abraham truly loves others. He enjoys singing praises to God and praying. His favorite hymn is "Wonderful Words of Life." Abraham's favorite verse is Psalm 17:8 because it tells him that God keeps him as the apple of His eye.
