My Name is
Etsub
Etsub
Etsub and her brother, Robel, lived with their mother before she became terminally ill with liver disease. Their mother was familiar with Rafiki and expressed her desire for the children to be placed at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia when she died because there were no other family members who could care for them. Etsub and Robel became a part of the family at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2014. Etsub says her favorite song is “You are Faithful." Estub is a kind young woman who enjoys studying Scripture. Etsub's favorite Bible verse is Revelation 22:21 because it reminds her of the grace of Jesus. She also enjoys reading the Psalms because they comfort her.
