My hope My hope

       It was on a Saturday morning when I woke up in the morning and took a jerican to go and fetch water. Then as I was coming back the jerican fell down broken. When I returned home my step-mother started beating me. I escape from home to the streets. Oftenly some people at the streets used to beat me. A man was passing-by I had seen him for many days. He took me into his house. The next day he asked about my parents. I told him that my mother had been chased away from home by my father and my father lived at Nairobi. He took me to an organization in Machakos near an Hotel known as Garden Hotel. Then the story was in the news about my escaping. Then the man called my father. He took me home. I told my father, as he was going to look for my step-mother who was already gone. The organization took care of me even today. I thank God for Jitegemee
