My Name is
Lemmy
Lemmy
Lemmy and his sister Eva 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. Lemmy and Eva 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 Grade 7, Lemmy is studying hard and has been improving his grades. Lemmy believes God has given him a new heart and that Jesus is his only Savior. He knows this is true because God has given him the faith to believe and he trusts Him. He also understands that in return for what God has done for him, he should serve and praise Him.
