My Name is
Biruk

Biruk
Biruk’s mother was very young when she gave birth to him. She worked as a housekeeper and abandoned Biruk, giving him to her employers. The family could not care for Biruk and asked the Rafiki Foundation for help. Biruk arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. He soon embraced his new life and family. Now, Biruk is a loving and obedient young man. He is humble, gentle, and patient. Biruk loves to read God's Word. He also likes to sing and socialize with others. Biruk's favorite Bible verse is Lamentations 3:22 because it reminds him that God's love never ends.
