 History of my Life

My home is in Arusha and my father is Magugu while my grandfather is Mbauda. At the first I was living in Magugu with my parents while my father have married two wives, mother is the first one. Then my step mother was a wizard. She wizarded my mother. so after that mother didn't want to enter our home, she was staying outside because of that action done by step mother.

So my step mother treated me very badly (persecuting me) hard work, no food, sent me to fetch water, in summary all work hard and easy no.

Even though my mother was a mental but when she saw that she took me to police station where we explained our problems. Then the elder policeman at Magugu, near to Babati, he gave us the policeman up to home when my father arrested by him (policeman). And the big problem was of my father wanted to kill my mother by covering her with tent and finely to cut a knife on her chest or neck. Then the policeman decided to shift us from Magugu to Arusha so that to live with my grandfather. Now during that time my mother was totally mental and confused. She treated me very badly, insulted me, because she didn't know what is speaking.

To see that I ran up to Moshi town when I saw a group of kids were going to Maimoria, that was my chance I joined with them up to Maimoria. When I was not yet settled I met with watchman at Maimoria who insulted me very badly (bad abuse). Then Michael
Clipper told the watchman that please allow this kid to sleep here until tomorrow because he's a newcomer.

Then the following day I went to town at the Post Office where I met with Kara and Matthew near to the Moshi Hotel, Davanu parking place. I told Kara my problem then I continued with my movement. In the way I met with one man called Shungu - then I asked him then he told me that we have a new centre at Majengo (Mkombozi) where we take care of street kids.

Then I moved to Majengo while I was asking a new centre for street kids. Then in the way I met with Bai (another street child) then I asked him he told me that provide one hundred Tsh then I will show you the centre where street kids are. Then one kid directed me and I saw the centre. When I reported at the centre they told me I could sleep here. Then I started to stay here up to now.

Now my life here is good and enjoyable one because I have a place to sleep. studying, eating, have clothes and others and a good to visit my grandfather. And here teachers are helping us many things so our life is very nice. Finally thank you for giving me each and everything and promise me to go to school. Thank you, thank you very much, God Bless you. Thank you.
