Biniyam eats, sleeps and breathes soccer...and it shows as he dominates the soccer field! He is small but mighty on the field and has earned the nickname "Bull"! However, off of the field, "Bull" hardly describes his true sweet and gentle nature. He is affectionate, sensitive to others, loving and shy at times, but he has an undetectable spunk that is marked by his mischievious smile matched with his lovable, goofy giggle! Biniyam possesses a positive attitude, a high moral standard and makes level-headed choices that have earned him respect from even his older peers.
Biniyam was born in 1995 and has been at Kolfe for many years. He has an older sister that has been living with a foster family in Addis Ababa (the capital city of Ethiopia) for five years. He is very physically active whether it is through soccer, going on walks or riding bikes. His vigorous activity always creates a large appetite but sadly, his nutrition is lacking as he is served diluted mushed chickpeas and injera (crepe-like bread) for every meal. He longs to eat meat, vegetables, fruits and especially salad as it is his favorite but unfortunately, they are absent from Kolfe. His small stature for his age is a testament to his malnutrition. He longs for the day he has a full belly and therefore, can reach his full potential in all areas of his life.
