today someone asked me about street kids.
my mind went crazy. how to explain.
it's hard for me to remember Kenya and the lessons it taught me, how much harder for you, who has never been there to relate.
this is an average street child and this is what they sniff. in countries around the world, not just Kenya, street children exist and live.
children of all ages. they run away from home for any reason and once on the street they find themselves alone and vulnerable.
every child is different. i will not gonna give you statistics because street children are kids, not numbers.
these boys sniff shoe glue. they buy it from "mamas" on the side of the road. shoe glue. it's cheap. it kills their mind. it numbs their cold. it curbs their hunger. and in the process it kills their brain cells.
there's a hell of a lot of street kids in this world. they need our prayers, not our sympathy.
these kids need to be rescued by nationals in their countries and they need to be reunited with their families. they need hope and healing that only Jesus can bring.
