Metsenanat

Metsenanat
Metsenanat was abandoned by her parents and given to her grandmother. Her grandmother struggled to provide for her basic needs and asked the Rafiki Foundation to intervene. Metsenanat arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in May 2010. She adapted quickly and began to thrive in her new environment. Metsenanat loves to read God's Word. She has a deep knowledge of the Scriptures, prays using the Scriptures, and depends on God's Word. Metsenanat also loves hymns and singing praises to the Lord.
