Peace of mind

She is 15yrs old, her birthday is October 10^th. Mary Njoki has good traits and really admirable ones. She expresses her distaste of arguing, and hate people looking down on her. She comes from a single parent; her mother has been ill and never works much. While home she has been the one taking care of her mother though she is the youngest. While on the streets she used to do odd jobs like collects garbage from people apartments and, also collecting fruits from the market area and selling some as she takes other back home to her other siblings and mother. She used to do this with her street friends.

This was all too much for her, child labor and all, she got to hear of MITS program in Eastleigh and decided to come every so often. She us now in our boarding program at the Kamulu farm. She expresses her joy, now that she gets to complete her education. Better yet top it up with a skill. Her future plans are to get a good job so she could her mom move from the slums and provide her better health care. She also has a positive attitude towards life.
