The daughter of a friend called me today; she had worked in Kisumu a few years ago on a fortnights charity placement via her university. So I was able to talk to her about her experience. Its was the street children which affected her too. She went out several nights to a sort of 'soup' kitchen, which gives food to the children. She said there were probably none over twelve years old, and all high as kites on glue.
Such a tragedy; children are the future of any country, and for so many to be living like this, with HIV/AIDS, no education, no families, and living and dying on the streets ... such a tragedy.
I have struggled and thought about how third world countries could tackle the problems of street children ... and I have found no answer ...
We can but pray ... and is that enough ??
