CHALLENGES IN KIBERA

The life that people live in slums are terrible. Many are poor others are mentally handicapped and even thugs move from house to house causing deaths, kidnappings and even burning down people's homes. Even I have been able to experience some of these horrible times. One day I seemed to be walking to school when I saw two men fighting each other just because of their bad habits of gambling for food. Everyone who passed by just stood an stared at them. I ran to separate them but one of them caught me by the collar and threw me down. I was still trying to separate them but one of them was knocked down seriously and his head had started oozing blood. I tried to be helpful to the man and ran to the nearest telephone booth to contact the ambulance. But when thy arrived and already the man had passed away.
