Seme Khamis, called “SEH-mey”, age 9
Medical facilities are rare and often staffed with 
untrained or underpaid workers, so when someone is struck with an illness or accident, it can be devastating. Seme and his brother lost their mother to what is only known to be a “swelling illness” very soon after Seme was born. The father was unable to care for an infant and a ten-year-old, so he sent them to an elderly aunt. The aunt could not care for them either, and they were brought to Amazing Grace when Seme was barely a year old.
Seme is a child who feels things very deeply. He will be laughing and playing one moment, then something happens and he’s weeping or fighting. He thrives under praise, and wilts under criticism. School does not come easily for him, but he is very diligent at his job of feeding and caring for the three dogs. His older brother watches him carefully, trying to shield and protect him when possible from things that might hurt his little heart.
