Kenya Kids - Africa

April 2007
A few years ago, street kids Henry, Nico and Elisabeth were begging on the slums of Nairobi to support their glue habits. Now they've turned their lives around and are helping other children. It's estimated there are more than 120,000 homeless children in Nairobi. But where grand schemes have failed, local projects are having an impact. Henry works for AMARF, encouraging street children to go to school. "I tell them I used to live the life they're living now. Then I changed". As a former street kids, he has an instant connection with the children he meets.

Dude. What is wrong with you. So what if other people believe different things. Dont just hate other beliefs. Thats like saying: Oh you think that it will rain tomorrow, so your stupid, and you need to die. Buddhists actually like Christains and accept them. A Christain can go to heaven in Buddhism, and here you are: all buddhists should go to hell. Well then give up everything created by a Buddhist. And you know what? That includes all your ipods ipads and iphones cause Steve Jobs was BOTH
