AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE A STREET PERSON FROM THE STREET

My name is Erastus Lukale. I am 24 years old. I have lived a bitter life, after my parents separate ways. They both remarried to different people. I was left desparate and confused. I joined street life at the age of 13 years old. I have experienced all the challenges that street life can offer and also been cheated a lot. My name has been taken by different people promising to help me but in vain. Even the government has cheated the one. However WEAEP tried to help me in 2009 by getting me to their centre for counselling and providing me with basic needs for some time. I was unable to cope with the life there as I worked the odd one out at my age so I decided to run away back to the street again. I am needy of training and I desire to acquire life skills in mechanic and driving.
