My Name is
Lemmy
Lemmy
Lemmy and his sister, Eva, were living with their grandmother, who did not have the means to feed them every day, before they came to Rafiki. Lemmy and Eva arrived at the the Rafiki Village Zambia in 2007 and soon benefited from the good diet, good hygiene, and loving family environment. Lemmy studies diligently and takes school seriously. 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 will serve and praise Him forever.
