RESTORATION FROM A STREET LIFE

I am Machoni Shem. I am 13 years old. I lost my mother some years back and the step mother that took her place tortured me for years before I fled to become a street child in Kakamega town. I really suffered for many months but in June this year a social worker came to my aid. At first I was unwilling like most street children do. I had dropped from school in class 4. The social worker took me to Mukumu children's Home and I was received. I have been offered an opportunity to learn and get the necessary support. Im as encouraged.
