sniffing glue to get by

It was an eye opening experience to say the least..last week our team traveled from Africa New Life's street children ministry program to visit a couple of the places where the children call home.

To aid with hunger pangs, many children on the street sniff glue. This bottle is used by the boys to escape their impoverished reality, while simultaneously harming their young growing bodies.

These three boys shown just outside the bushes they sleep in every night, located within a new expensive housing development.

This is the boy's home, all of their possessions amount to a few boxes inside tall bushes located surprisingly close to 3 story mansions just on the other side of the field where they fiind their shelter.
