My Name is
Eva
Eva
Eva and her brother, Lemmy, were living with their grandmother, who attempted to feed the children on a daily basis but often was not able to. Eva and Lemmy arrived at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007 where they soon benefited from the good diet, good hygiene, and loving family environment. Eva studies hard, and her best subjects are computers and history. She believes Jesus is her personal Savior, the Son of God, who has given her a new heart, saved her, and made her His child. God is teaching her to love Him, and she knows that nothing is impossible with God. Eva believes God will use her to do something to improve Africa and the world.
