GIVING CHILDREN A CHANCE

Kibera, Anyone who hears Kibera,one thing comes into his mind.

I think a picture is worth a thousand words.You can describe it in as many words as possible depending on how descriptive and creative your mind is. But deep within this funny clay and mud-made walls stands a number of good things.One of the many good things is humanity.Over one million people live here.And every single day a kid is born into this society.

Children are a gift from heaven,whether brought about by irresponsible sexual behaviour or planned.In the Bible,the Holy Book, Jesus Christ himself,compared the heavenly kingdom to the little ones.And in a society where almost 3/4 of the population is termed “poor”, children are not allowed to be children as they grow up.Some of them at a young age of 3 years get molested,beaten up and man-handled in a society that doesn’t care about kids. Figure this out a kid that is age 3 being beaten up and thrown into the rain,because of an alcoholic mother who has no time to feed the young one. Hence,kids at this tender age jump a step and start fending for themselves.This is a big concern to a society that should value kids,and protect them as they are leaders of tomorrow. Much more can be said about what happens.We already have the negative publicity of what happens in this place.

But on a positive note,I visited a place where kids are allowed to be kids.I loved the place.Its located in the muddy houses that are seen the photo above. 

This is one place where kids at a tender age get shielded away from heavy work and are allowed to be kids.They get to be children.To be a child,you need to undergo various steps and stages of life.That includes sleep, lots of play and creative development in terms of what they think they want to be.The colouring, the crayons and drawing.That’s what in my opinion makes a child grow.And Turning point is one place that makes kids feel at home and can make the best of it all.

Imagine all this happy faces getting to reach a point where they can have and provide for themselves and become better law-abiding citizens?

I had a chance of meeting Joanna Bayley,who works with the Turning Point Trust, as a fund-raiser to the making the young ones on loose their big dreams.

Am thinking,this kids look beautiful and really want to stay being children.How about we make it possible for them to play,live in a safe and humble environment where we can nurture them to be where we are or even better?

Contact me or talk to me directly,we can plan a visit or something to see how we can make them have better days in an environment that does not care about them.

Lets make this kids enjoy being kids.
