STREET REPORT FROM MOSES

Moses Gicheru serves as one of the MITS street ministers, working out of the Eastleigh Center. He send in this report, which points up the emotional pain that our Team lives with all the time. They serve Christ and have compassion for kids and want to help them all, but it proves very difficult at times.  Some mothers love their kids very much; other mothers want the kids around so they can get more money begging.

"David is 6 years old and lives on the street with his mother, Jane Wangari. She is 22 years old.  Her mother passed away when she was only 16 years old, which made her life desperate.  She went to live on the streets.  

She is currently at Liliput base in Eastleigh. We have been meeting her on the streets during base visits. She sniffs glue and begs for money on the streets so that she can feed David,  who has never been to school.

We are doing what we can to rescue the boy who in in danger of sniffing glue himself since the mother uses the drug and he suffers from cold, especially at night."
