one of the many one day activities that we have done here was to spend time with streets ahead, a street kid project that has a centre in town for kids to come to, wash clothes, cook food, play sport, but eventually seeks to sent them home.
so last week i went on one of the reuniting operations. we took a kid who has been on the streets for 2 months back to his rural home - this is where he lives! real mud huts like you see in picture books! it was facinating to learn about them - the circular ones are for the kitchen, square for the bedroom...
but it was sad as the first place he asked to go - his aunts, the aunt shunned him. she would not accept him back. so we took him to his uncles instead WAY out far from anywhere. the uncle was not there even after we had waited an hour or more so we left him there as he seemed quite happy. i only hope he stays happy there.
