One day as I was by the robot, with my own minor children, just about the same age as the ones on the streets (Cnr Josiah Tongogara/Second Stree), I felt the hurting in my heart. The poor children are so exposed to anything and everything our there in the cold, dark etc. My 8 year old daughter asked me a question, ” mommy, what happened to these children’s parents? but you have money in your bank since you are working, cant you buy them food which they asked you for ?” Honestly I had no answer. I had a bad experience one day when I gave cash to one very young child to buy something, apparently one much older man (now qualifying to be street man rather than street kid) watched and as I was driving away, this man just came from behind and forcibly grabbed that money from the poor child not before hitting him so badly and heartlessly left right center. I wondered what else happens to these children. I always imagine what kind of project one can do to ensure 1) Their protection 2) their food security…. I could go on and on. I am mother, and always equate these children to my own.
