My Name is
Eyob
Eyob
After his father's death, Eyob's mother abandoned him. His grandparents took him in despite their limited resources and old age. Though they tried, they could not care for his basic needs. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010, and he soon benefited from the quality care, nutritious food, and loving environment. He is extremely sociable and enjoys time with his friends and housemates. Eyob has grown in his knowledge of God by reading the Bible and worshiping God through praying, singing, and praising. His favorite Scripture verse is Psalm 112:1, and his favorite hymn is "Trust and Obey."
