My Name is
Aynalem
Aynalem
Aynalem was three-years-old when her mother died. Her father remains unknown. She then lived with various relatives. She was living with her uncle and, when he lost his job, they asked the Rafiki Foundation to care for Anynalem. She moved to the Rafiki Village in May 2015 and was reunited with her sister Genet! Aynalem was soon happy and thriving in her new environment. She is polite and friendly, and she enjoys having sisters and friends at the Village. She says her favorite subject is math. Aynalem states that she has grown by listening to God's Word and praying. God has opened her mind and helped her to learn in school. She says that she listens to His Word and understands God has forgiven our sin through Jesus. God's Word has taught her that she must forgive others because she has been forgiven much. God's Word has also taught her that we must love one another. Aynalem has learned that He asks us to believe in Him all the time and to pray every day.
