he took up his life in the streets. He danced at
music stores and bus stops to earn a few shillings
daily. He never returned home because there was
no home to return to. He was admitted to Meru Children’s Home in January of 2002.

the 9th grade at Nkuene Boy's School. John’s story has been widely counter-checked and found to be true. He is an intelligent boy and his thoughts and perceptions are beyond his years.
