My Name is
Yeabsira
Yeabsira
Yeabisira's mother left him with her brother when he was just one year old, and his father remains unknown. Yeabisira's uncle could not work as a day laborer and care for his young nephew at the same time, and he sought help for Yeabisira. Before arriving at the Village, Yeabisira had low hemoglobin and was in poor health. He arrived at the Rafiki Village Ethiopia in 2011. His health soon improved with nutritious food, extra vitamins, and supplements. Yeabsira now continues to grow physically and spiritually. He prays for his family, his teachers, and his sponsors. He asks for prayers for good health, for success in school, and for obedience in all things. Yeabisira's favorite hymn is "Come Thou Fount" because it teaches him to praise God.
