In the Streets

Before Andrew left today he went in town to say goodbye to some of the street kids we see everyday in town. These are the kids who for some reason refuse to come to Oasis. They say they are starving and we tell them Oasis will feed them for free, but they still choose to not come.

So sometimes if we have to go to the supermarket we'll buy an extra bag or two of bread and give it to some of the boys we meet...







This is Joseph, he's one of the older boys who "looks after" and supplies glue for the younger boys...






Sometimes they show up at Oasis, but most times we only see them on the streets. Its crazy and heartbreaking to look at boys like Martin, Evans, Bram, and Moses and know that was once them.

These kids just break me. I have to remember the other side... the hope that so many of them get. Whats the word on the streets there about Obama today? People going crazy or no big deal?
