A GOOD SAMARITAN 

My name is Lawrence Mwashi.My mother died in 2001 before my father remarried after one year in 2002.I was still about 8 years old and in class one,my step mother turned all the heat on me.She denied me food and could beat me without any cause.I felt enough was enough and since my father was not listening to me i decided to run away from home.My friends guided me to go to the streets of Kakamega.I have stayed in the street for about 3 years.Last year 2010,WEAEP took me to their center.They have plans to help me back to school and they have been counselling me continually.I now have a desire to work hard especially if i am lucky t get a sponsor.
