Hello everyone, sorry for the delay but unfortunatly the internet cut out on us last night just as we were about to write the blog.

Yesterday was another evenful and emotional day for us all. We went to visit the street children again, but this time it was much more emotional as we were taken to where some of the street children used to live. Before leaving we were told some of their stories. One of the boys John told us that he became a street child in 2000 after his father died, he told us that life on the streets were extremly hard for a young boy of just 13, the only way he could survive was to turn to drugs and stealing. He told us that he was the worlds best thief as no one ever caught him, even though this seemed funny at the time looking back at it made us all realised how tough life for these young children actually is. Luckly now their life has turned around and they are using their experiences to teach the younger children right from wrong. When we went to visit where one of the young boys stayed, I don't think any of us were prepared for what we saw. We were led down to a drain pipe and told that nine people used to stay in there, the smell that came from inside was one of the most disgusting smells I have ever smelt in my life, John also told us that when it rained they used to be washed out from the pipe and down into where all the rubbish had gathered. One of the other boys there David told us that in one corner was where they done the toilet and in the other corner is where they used to grow their drugs. To think that only a couple of years ago these young men and women used to stay in such horrendous condition and resort to awful things to try and stay alive is unbelieveable , as now they are bright young people that can set an excellent example for the rest of the street children out there. It also proves that no matter how tough life gets you can never give up, as if they can make it through and turn out to be brillant young people then so can we.
