Meddy Kamya
Meddy’s Story
Meddy is eight years old and attends first grade at a local public school. He lives with his mother, father, two brothers and two sisters. His mom has had to stop working to take care of his father, who is ill. With the support of a sponsor through Roots of Mercy International, Meddy can receive help with education and daily care as he grows.
