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. Often the children had only one meal a day. Eva and Lemmy came to live at the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007 where they quickly became like new children thanks to a good diet, good hygiene, and a loving family environment. Now in Senior Secondary School, 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, others, and be not only a hearer of the Word, but a doer. She has also asked Him to show her what her purpose in life is. She believes God will use her to do something to improve Africa and the world.
