Musing about the Future of Kids


Francis Mbuvi was in town this week to be with the Team that works out of the Eastleigh Center. He always meets with them, then goes out to the Bases where the street kids are.  Following is his thought after going out to Pumwani Base.

"Among many things that are difficult in the streets is how the young ones live. The older ones mostly try to get them to live like adults, and they are pushed to it in every way. So as early as just a few months, soft drugs (if there is anything like that) are forced on the young ones. I can't help but think that maybe the children think to themselves, "I don't want this kind of life", but then again, what choice do they have? So they grow in this hard situation knowing hardship as long as they live, unless somehow God sends people like the MITS team to pray with their parents and encourage them towards seeing that their children can live better if they allow God to guide them. We hope to reach one child at a time, as many as God allows us to.
This is at Pumwani base.
Blessings, Mbuvi"
