lameck's STORY:

Lameck’s parents died of AIDS, leaving behind Lameck and his four siblings. After this, Lameck and his siblings went to live with his grandmother. Unfortunately his grandmother was only allowed to take care of these 5 new children for a short time due to her age and poverty. Lameck shuffled around between other relatives for a while with his siblings before they had to drop out of school because no one could pay their school fees. With no one to feed him clothe him, Lameck moved to the street. Lameck lived a hard life on the streets of Lira for almost two years before coming to Saving Grace on the same day as 7 other street boys.

Lameck is quite new to Saving Grace, but is so loved and has a bright future ahead of him!
