My Name is
Feraol
Feraol
Feraol's mother abandoned him in 2008. His neighbors then took Feraol in but did not have the means to properly care for him. They then contacted the Rafiki Foundation for help. Feraol arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2010. Since his arrival, Feraol has continued to work hard in school, enjoy time with his friends, and act as an older brother to the younger children in the Village. Feraol has a wonderful sense of humor. His favorite hymn is "O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus," and his favorite Bible passage is Psalm 28 because it tells him that God is our strength and shield.
