Base visits.

Every other Friday the team gets to go out to the streets and meet young teens, mothers and families that live on the streets and try to make ends meet. These streets youths live each day at a time and do whatever odd jobs comes their way. These are the words of Moses, a team that is posted in Eastleigh...

I have been visiting bases on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.This month we have seen several improvements from the boys we visits; Mwaura (street boy) from Liliput base has stopped sniffing glue and petroleum products and has been carrying luggage for people in order to earn a living.

We also saw a young girl from Mawaya base standing on a hot sunny day cooking chapatis to sell to h

er street’s colleague. We have been teaching them about casting their burdens to God.

We also visited Riverside and Grogon bases where we found teenage boys being forced to work just for a packet of milk .One of the scrap metals dealers was very harsh to us because the city Askaris had demolished their kiosks. He complained that we were interfering with his work and he didn’t want to listen to anyone. Therefore we left but later some of the teenage boys followed to explain to us how those big guys were mistreating them. We meet a teenage girl whom has been living in several bases including Kariokor base. Weencouraged her to continuing attending our program.

During the teenage boys program, we also had a slight change on Tuesday program to go to the field to play soccer since we had stayed for a long period without doing this. It was so much enjoyable and a special day for us because Paul (a volunteer) had a good opportunity to say goodbye to the boys since it was the last day for his internship with us.

It is this month we have succeeded to find a children’s home for James Mwangi who was falling below the age bracket for Made In The Street intake. He was admitted at Gathiga Hope children’s Home at Kiambu District.
