[xMamush]

dang he was mean to that homeless man

[piecefcake7]

i was in addis last month. i've seen much things that shoudn't be. I spoke with 2 boys too, daniel was 13 years old, and Jo didn't know his own age, because his parents(the only ones who should know his age) left him. they've got a "home", in the middle of the slums. They envited me in there house to drink a cup of coffee. the whole ritual was incredible to see...

Jo and dany's situation was different than the situation of the street children. they told me they were happy...

[FsimulatorX]

He is basically saying "This kids want to live In a better place but have no money so help them"

[Gofaseferay]

Fuck u! Do u think all sreet children in addis r amharas? ur just dom ape.

[kushlion]

why cant you amharas have a community who helps their young. like in adama. you can get these kids off the street with help from the community

[szeleke]

we mastered in how to blame each other instead of doing something. It won't get us any where!!!!!!!

It's sad indeed. But doesn't it make more sense to give hope to all those young people? Planting positive thoughts will attract more positive things in their life, won't it? A voice of hope is better for everyone I understand this video is only the first step towards a better life.. Everyone who sees this video and feels that he wants to do something, can spread this video, can talk to friends or go to Ethiopia, to help directly. I am sure that money combined with couragious efforts will do it

[ethiohonest]

i have a big dream one day when GOD hear my prayer i will be a mother of those who don't have anyone to help

[Emrakeb]

it's so sad.

THANKS FOR THE TRANSLATION

[sgidiecoch]

The thing that I want to say

(TO person off screen: Don't disturb us!! you.. get out of here!! behave your self/have some manners!!)

Ok, .. the thing I want to say to the whole world that is

What I want to say to the whole world is

Ethiopian rough sleepers..the young the women the fathers,

So many orphans who live on the streets have died on the streets

[sgidiecoch]

These youth want to work, they want to grow they want to change their lives

They want to be part of good families

But from where can they get the ways and means? the wealth and property?

The income or opportunity? to achieve this? from where and how can they get this?

Who will help them who will stand next to them to support them?

[sgidiecoch]

So please please..the young people you see here in this video

Really, They need sponsorship or international assistance

To take them off these streets/highways., to take US . from life in the streets

When we ask you to pick us up off the streets we ask you in the name

Humanity, and we ask all peoples of the world

[sgidiecoch]

I ask For these youth who are in the streets in the cold, who suffer from different diseases, hunger and thirst, suffer from all kinds of health problems from being in the streets, TO BE HELPED,

For you all to come to their aid..and to provide us with some kind of shelter (somewhere to sleep ) or come together to form a charity that can help the street homeless youth. I ask this in the name of the world.

I am very grateful. My name is Johnny Joe Bereket.

Thank you.
