from Tom...
Saturday a week ago I had the opportunity to join one of the HOPE CENTRE partners, Buckner International, on a visit to Waterloo just a few miles down the road from the center. Buckner Country Director, Alfred Kargbo, and Social Work Interns from two local Bible Colleges started a ministry there two years ago with street kids that are either orphaned or that are neglected or abused to the point that street life is better than home. I cannot get my mind to understand how bad home life must be after seeing how bad street life is for these children. Alfred and his interns took me to their different contact places to introduct me to the kids. As we walked, I asked Alfred how the kids survive and he told me they do whatever they can such as push carts for merchants, sell plastic bags, shovel trash or simply beg. Most of them will work for days before they earn enough to buy an actual meal.
