I’m 12 years old, and I live at FIDESCO.

I have my two parents. My dad is a local house builder, and my mom sells fruit on the street. I have one brother and two sisters.  My elder brother and one sister go to school.

I was so stubborn at school that I used to fight all the time. One time, I fought with my friend and beat him, and he started bleeding, so I ran away to the street because I thought they would follow me, and at home they were fed up with me. I lived on the street for some time and I got caught by the police.…

I’m 14 years old, and I live at FIDESCO.

I’m 12 years old and I live at Fidesco. I’ve been here for a year.

I am 14 years old.  The biggest problem I have in my life now is finding a way to go back to school.

I don’t have money to pay my school fees and I want to find someone who could help support my family.  If I had the chance, I would buy a dance outfit and would continue to study dance as long as possible.

I am 12 years old.  I have an older sister named Chantal.

I came to FIDESCO at the end of November 2011.  When I came to FIDESCO, I stopped smoking and drinking alcohol.  I love how God has continued to change me day after day.

Now, I have FIDESCO as my parents.  I also love to dance because it makes me happy.  I am afraid of dogs.…
