Dorine is one of the victims and it is not an easy task to grow up searching for questions with no answers, since no one is there to give hers helping hand, not even comfort her childhood.

Since childhood, up to now, she grown up in negative fact ,  which she has never ever uttered the word parents’ or even had someone to call so. she did n’t  known  how it feels for one to be held in the parent’s care

Her parents passed ways when she was a week’s old, the thing which changed hers life from heaven to hell “sincerely after that entire terrible situation hence was taken in by her grandparents. They took great care of her, but fact had  ever appeared in normal life. The day she got into contact with hers parent they had lying dead in the coffin; they could not set eyes on hers face, not even utter a word to her.

By then, she was 7 years of age, she found under uncle care after hers grandparents contact death in couple of years passed, the fact was terrible in her uncle house she was mistreated very badly where she work even over night  thing which it was virtually impossible to have good education and proud of hers childhood.

She do not know what to say about the situation, where she found hers self in a street life all along, spending night in the street, the situation which may expose her in contagious diseases, she dint even able to observe healthy regulation after involved in a drug, cause no one to turn for her needs and most probably the basic needs and parental care which is vital as without the parents no one to tell them what is right from what is wrong.

Day after day in a street she even never heard what happened to hers parents. she was trying to find what killed hers parent after  she asked  hers relatives once in awhile no one care or even bother ,one day she tried to share her problems with  one lady who encourage her maybe she can searched hers  parent death statement  at one the town hospital, where she found  hers parent died by H.I.V AIDS she feel loneliness’ and she always  thinking how big problems  she going through all time she decide to commit suicide, cause she unlike to share hers problem with others .but before she do that she decide to call final advice, advices which help hers in life how she can changed her life.today  She trying to asked government to care street urchin which dying with strangers promises which never fulfilled.

I pray for those who they left by their parents especially for those their parent was killed in any kind of layout especially which caused  by police in the street  here Kenya police killed people with out care whether someone had family which take care for, that why u see many people becamed orphans..

Soon like two weeks a gone I seen at television the number of orphans increases here in our communities in Kenya as long as this causes by many layout which occupies all in Kenya people fighting and killed one another, and not only in Kenya in Africa people fight for  different issues ,land, post election violence and police killed people illegally not only criminal even innocent .

After election 2007 many people killed in post election violence the people who is innocent ,politician insisted people to fight in between different tribe. I pain when I writing this blog, do you think i can share my pain with you? Leader led people by action a good leader keep peace not to insisted people in violence. Not only killed also people displaced at from their lands really even today they living at internal displaced people camp they waiting government provide a help but no any step did take so they can able to turn home but thing is they cant turn home because no food to eat they have luck of healthy they are homeless because people burnt their houses.

Instead of always here voice children crying for food in our community government was suppose to tell people which steps they had taken to rescue Kenyans in this disaster of hunger so people they can continue with  a new life like before.

But a few minute I saw group police which everyone have a weapons,Iwonder why police worked for onther department and that is not serious matter and this matter happen every day in town between hawkers and city council of nairobi,They running where the another groups was after few minute I hear gun sound and when I gone where sound was I found one guy felted down and near the I saw have blood flow and other side I saw many shoes around the guy I notice that he sold some shoes so he is hawker. Every who was there was sad to saw how police destroy youth life.
I asked myself who gone fighting youth right here in Kenya. But I think in Kenya have group which for human right, If they take this serious thing and work for it I think this gone end.

It was on Wednesday 5th November 2008 when announcement were made all over the world that Obama has won the USA election over Mccain. In Kenya people liked Obama that is why the president of Kenya announced one day holiday to celebrate Obama win.

Many people celebrated the day by shouting black man in white house and others were screaming happily but the Police started harassing them and arresting them and taking them to the police station and before arrest you they asked your tribe and where you coming from if will be a LUO they take you free, if another tribe they arrest you and if you give them money they take you free. Were doing that because Obama’s father he was LUO, People wondered why the police did that and it was holiday to celebrate and everyone  have right to celebrate, not only kenya all over in africa

I think Obama has his vision to avoid tribalism over the world, because many people were killed by tribal wars in many countries, so we need one love and one country. Is up to you to make sure all this change and changes to fight we these leaders through advice those leaders who causes people to fight and have corruption.

Many leaders ruling their countries with corruption because no one to shown them right way, remember the whole world facing is you so people will follow your steps if you rule well.

My mind think let me see what they were looking at, I found my friend lying down and she was dead and she was covered with white cloth sheets.

Her parents did not have much money to take her to mortuary but there is a group that helps those who are affected by HIV/AIDS.  The group is called K.E.N.W.A. (Kenya Network Women With AIDS)

The group helped my friend for along time by providing her with anti-viral therapy drugs that made her healthy and also they gave her much advice. For one month she refused to take drugs, then she died. If she continued taking drugs still she could be alive, I don’t blame K.E.NW.A. I blame her.

My friend died when she was twenty-two years and she had one child, a boy but her parents do not have enough money to care of their grandson. K.E.N.W.A took care of the child.  I thank K.E.N.W.A for their good work by providing people with condoms, living advice and drugs.

Good work government for fighting against aids mostly the youth by teaching them through media on radios, TV, magazines, newspapers and posters. It up to you people to listen up to the government and other organizations.

It is a serious thing when schools girls are seen working in bars or clubs. Yesterday I was walking in the street in the evening when I heard noise coming from a bar. When I went in, I thought people were fighting, but I didn’t find anyone fighting. It was the drunkards who were talking.

Near the one guy, there was a girl who has brown skin. Her face shines like the crack of dawn. She has long hair, which is black like charcoal and she is not so fat. She likes to wear earrings, jeans, and short t-shirts that show her stomach.

That girl is almost in class eight and is 14 years old. When she comes home from school, she removes her uniform and starts her work. Drunkards like to watch her, but I don’t know why. Maybe she serves them well or maybe they just like her. They talk nonsense to the girl about sex and how to become a prostitute.

Her parents know of the work that their daughter does, but they do not try to stop her. They know that it is illegal for a school child to work in a bar. Can you believe it?

Students are supposed to go home to review their schoolwork, not go to a bar. In order to decrease prostitution, schools girls should not be working in bars because there, they learn many things, which are not good. Children need a good education and need their rights respected. It is a painful thing to see children working in bars.

To avoid this, children need more advice from their parents and teachers. Even the children need self-control and respect. The government is doing okay to avoid child labor, but only in the daytime. The police patrol and arrest those who are employing children and take them to jail and to court but police officers need night shifts to patrol for child labor because there are children employed at night like the one I told you about. Government, keep busy on this.
