It is difficult for children to live on the streets without the security of a mother or a father. They have to always be searching for food. Kapangama’s body was wearing away by this time because he had so little to eat.
Sometimes adults passing by would throw bread or small coins to the street children. To Kapangama this was just the adults’ daily entertainment. They would laugh as the street children would fight and run after the bits of bread or coins dropped on the ground. There was no one who seemed to really care, until one day when a man approached Kapangama and warmly embraced him. Kapangama was shocked. He did not know what the man wanted from him.
The man asked, “What is your name?”
“My name is Samuel Kayuni.”
“Where do you live, Samuel?”
“I live anywhere.”
The man was overwhelmed with kindness and asked Samuel, “Do you mind if I take you off the streets?” Samuel could not believe what he was hearing. The man added, “I am not prepared right now because I didn’t talk to my wife. I just feel that I should take you off of the street. I am going to talk to my wife and then I will be back.”
