Children of a Lesser God!

 

Kinderen van een mindere God!

Kenden zij de liefde van hun moeder?
Werden ze gewiegd door hun vaders?
Hebben ze hier een levenslijn? Nee!
Ze werden alleen gelaten, om voor zichzelf te zorgen!

Verlaten door de narcistische criminelen
Verloren, zich niet bewust van hun realiteit.
Zij waren de kinderen van een mindere God.
Zij waren krijgers, niet gebroken.

Hun kansen trotserend en dapper strijdend
Ze zingen hymnes, loven de Almachtige
voor hun leven, zonder ooit te beseffen wat ze verloren
Hunkerend naar een klein leven met hoopvolle ogen.

Alleen in deze wereld zijn wij ook
Levend omringd door vele
een leven en sterven alleen
Gezegend zijn zij die het vroeg beseffen;

Anju Devadas

Enfants du Petit Dieu !

Ont-ils connu l’amour de leur mère ?
Ont-ils été bercés par leurs pères ?
Ont-ils une bouée de sauvetage ici ? Non !
Ils ont été laissés seuls, à se débrouiller par eux-mêmes !

Abandonnés par le criminel narcissique
Délaissés, inconscients de leur réalité.
Ils étaient les enfants d’un dieu inférieur
Ils étaient des guerriers, pas des brisés.

Défiant leurs chances et combattant bravement.
Ils chantent des hymnes, louent le Tout-Puissant.
Pour leur vie, sans jamais se rendre compte de ce qu’ils ont perdu.
Ils aspirent à une petite vie avec des yeux pleins d’espoir.

Seuls dans ce monde, nous sommes aussi
Nous vivons entourés de nombreuses
une vie et mourir seul
Heureux ceux qui s’en rendent compte le plus tôt possible ;

Anju Devadas

2 Street children in the Philippines | DW Documentary

19 nov. 2020

Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is waging a brutal war on drugs. Thousands of people have already died at the hands of the police, including children. 
 
The populist president has ordered the country’s security forces to kill anyone that they think is connected to the drugs trade. Minors have also suffered under the crackdown. Some children have been inadvertently killed during drugs raids, while others have become police targets. Most come from the poorest sections of society. The film makers accompany street children trying to survive on the streets of the capital Manila. They meet adults who are trying to help, but also encounter the forces persecuting the children.

3 Street Kids Looking At Food Menu! 

26 apr. 2020

Homeless kids looking at food menu. Walking home from the shopping Mall at 10:00 at night we thought we would help treat these kids to a restaurant meal for the first time! 🙂 Safe and friendly walk home at night in Manila?
 
arctic braga
My friend you are way to naïve, your questioning shows that clearly!!! I have been many times in Manila most of the street kids have home and family, they are poor and I always help them out when ever I can and you are a good man to do that. They go to school, they are clean and in clean clothes means they have a home, it may not be much of a home but at least they have one and boys this age are always hungry.

7 Feeding Street Kids of Cox Bazar Bangladesh

3 aug. 2018

 
After delivering Sawyer water filters to the Rohingya refugees, I spent a day exploring the streets of Cox Bazar. I ran into a group of street kids who I treated to a meal at a local restaurant. I spent some time and got to know a little about their lives. 
 
Little did I know that I would come face to face with the crushing poverty some of those children have to endure. Despite those conditions, they’re happy and friendly, or at least around me. They seem to hit each other a lot. 
 
*Bangladesh is home to aggressive Zika tainted mosquitoes. I got bit over 50 times in a matter of days there.

8 Feeding Poor Street Kids & Double Amputee @ Phnom Penh Cambodia

12 feb. 2019

Hey everyone, I’m out again feeding people again, this time street kids and a double amputee in Phnom Penh Cambodia near the Russian Market. Cambodia has one of the world’s highest concentration of amputees due to all the left over land mines from several wars and is still one of the most heavily mined countries in the world (140 land mines per square mile according to UNICEF).

This double amputee was sorting through a bag of garbage and caught my curiosity. He had a single prosthetic arm with a thin metal rod attached to it that he used to open things. What he was looking for? The bag was full of waste from the market so was he looking for food? I love helping these kinds of people. When he looked through a Styrofoam takeout container, I asked if he wanted food.

He said yes and took me to a nearby fried rice stall around the corner. He had a nice bag, seemed reasonably well dressed, and had a hat, and didn’t seem like the typical homeless or poor person who lived on the street so it confused me why he was sorting through rubbish.

I was hoping he could sit and eat with me so we could talk but he had ordered take out. It didn’t occur to me, but with no hands, how could he eat? I figured he must have someone taking care of him. At this point, a few street kids came over. I thought they might just be curious but I offered them food as well.

A nice lady who was there with her son helped me communicate. After asking, the kids said they would share 2 plates, each costing 9000 Riels. The lady was very nice but she had to go to the hospital to take care of a family member. The two street girls finished their plates, which made me happy, but the boy barely ate half. He packed the rest, which also made me happy. They were very camera friendly. When they started doing that Asian pose, I showed them how to do the Korean Sa-Rang-Hae thingie.

After they ate, they went to another stall to get more free food. I figured they would give it to their parents. Maybe the rice dish I got them wasn’t necessary. They didn’t look starving or that hungry but I wanted to help out that night anyways. When they left, they said “I love you” which surprised me since they probably only know a dozen words. **Bless whoever taught them that.

The owners of the rice porridge place were very pleasant so I decided to eat there, and to my surprise, their rice porridge was one of the best things I had in Cambodia! I would later go on to eat there almost every other night. I will definately stop by when I’m there again.

The owner’s daughter came and said hi to me. Apparently, they give free food to street kids on the regular, which impressed me even more. The daughter asked if I was Christian, and was excited to share that she was Christian too and went to a Christian school. Her joy was so overflowing that it felt like a spiritual meeting and a blessing of sorts. It turns out, she is the only Christian in her family. The rest are Buddhist. That reminded me of my extended family who are Buddhist or Christian.

Anyways, after hearing how the people of Cambodia have suffered so much, I’m glad to meet nice helpful people injecting new life. Thank you and may peace be with you.

9 Meeting Sweetest Homeless Girl ~She’s 6 ! +Update Scavenger Girl Found! Nga & Linh are back!

Back to menu

2 jul. 2019

Thanks to my first Patreon pledge from Mr. D. Rhee, I went out to find someone to help. That’s when I met a truly homeless family with one of the sweetest homeless 6 year old girls I’ve ever seen at the Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.

I offered them assistance with anything and we actually ended up at Bun Man 22, a place Mark Wiens reviewed. The price was double the normal amount because that area has many tourists.

I also offered to buy them anything at the convenience store. Seeing a sweet homeless 6 year old girl run around and get everything she wanted was awesome. Thank you Mr. D. Rhee from the bottom of my heart.

I left feeling that was a nice experience for the both of us but I saw them again a few nights later sleeping next to a loud road. They really were homeless! I wanted to help them more.

I took a part of Mr. D. Rhee’s proceeds and decided to give them cash in a special “God Loves You” Tet Lucky Money Envelope with 600k VND (~$26) and a Beatitude inside. Since most beggars there make at least 100k VND a day and can rent a room with that, I thought 600k or about a weeks salary to a successful beggar was good enough but now I wish I gave more…

Updates:
I found the scavenger girl! Thanks to the Manila Police, we were able to locate her family so she’s not homeless anymore! Full video coming soon. I also found the girl from 7-11 from one of my first videos! Nga and Linh from Troy Nguyen’s videos are back at the Ben Thanh market and will be there until the end of July. Apparently, the police there are cracking down on those walking street sellers at the market and are fining them if they are caught selling within the night market. This has made selling much harder for those sellers.

I can’t wait to show you all the incredible people we met and helped, which would not have been possible if it I wasn’t going out on the behalf of my Patreon supporters:

Mr. D. Rhee,
Ms. J.In
Mr. J. Leaman
Mr. Doorway,
Mr. M. Schneider
Mr. M. Loosli
Mr. D. Applegate, and
Mr. Andrew

**Note that I will only be abroad for a couple more weeks so it will most likely be many months before I can use the funds for the poor for any new Patreon pledges. But I will collect it and use it to help the poor people that I come across. For current Patreons, I advanced a few months to hold us over for a little while. If anyone decides to stop their pledge, I’ll cover it. I’m just deeply appreciative that you were moved enough to help in the first place, which encouraged me to go out even more, so thank you!

As always, thanks for watching and Peace Be With You.

10 Surviving The Streets Of Africa | Life In The Slums (Poverty Documentary) | TRACKS

Back to menu

25 mrt. 2021

All his life Bernard has lived in one of Africa’s biggest slums. When he turned 17 he had to leave his home due to overcrowding in his family.

Many children, often younger than Bernard, face the same issue. To protect themselves on the streets and to avoid loneliness the children and teenagers form gangs.

The fact that anyone in the world who has lots of children and then throws them out because of overcrowding is disgraceful! Children don’t ask to be born. Imagine being thrown out at age 6 or 13 and having to fend for yourself. It’s heartbreaking 😞
noel
I hope this Bernard kid made it, and his dreams came true. I would love to see how he’s doing now.

Thank you for your videos and even if it’s old as implied it still does not matter. The issue not about where it is since there are plenty towns, districts everywhere in the world. It’s just a reminder to be happy and appreciate what you have in life. Try to make the best of yourself especially if you have a good start since birth and try to help others who are in need and fight poverty. Poverty is a major problem in the world.

This was definitely filmed in the 1990s. I am close to Mathare and there is a very big difference between the situation then and now. The cars are really old and the I recognize very few things on the streets. The boys are most probably in their fifties or even sixties.

It’s always wise for professionals to timestamp their work. And good taste to have a real interpreter…and when a few years go by, do a followup of the interviewees instead of rerunning the old film.

Keep on having 15 children, these people are great grandparents by age 45. It’s insanity. All human population growth is in places of abject poverty, 100% of it. Something needs to be done..like come up with a social security program where they make less money the more children they have? I don’t know..But something needs to change to prevent these child horror stories.

Subject: Poor people living in the huts ⛺ Today we see lots and lots of poor people living in huts. Their life is not that much eady and convenient. There may be no separate rooms in Huts. It contains only one portion with no any other extra rooms or a kitchen. They manage with what they have and keep running their life in a way they can. There will be no beds for them to sleep. They manage to sleep on the mud floors on a hand made mats. Their sleeping place and the kitchen, are all comes in one place. They are totally poor so they cannot afford to go out for a good living. They have to manage with what they have and that’s the truth. The needy and the poor people have no leisure, no entertainments, no education, no proper medication and no proper meals. They have to survive with what they have and that’s the only situation they have. The life of the poor is not that much easy as you think. It’s a hard life, they have to work hard for their bread. Each and every day when the sun starts to rise, they wake up early and look for their food by going out. At times earning could be easy, at times it could be difficult, and it depends. Medication and children schooling is rather a difficult matter. In some villages the children has to walk long distance for their schools. There won’t be professional schools but just to support them with little education they have simple and small schools. All in all they have to face problems in their life and there is no end for their frustrations. Poor and needy people are the biggest losers and sinners in this world. They will not get what they want instead they will be facing the fate day and night. Luck doesn’t comes near them but the fate always surrounds them and put them into difficulties. The father as well as the mother in that poor family has to work hard for their living. Some places only the father is able to earn for the family and the mother take cares her children. When coming to food or meals, I think there won’t be a single day where they can fill their stomach with food. At times they will have only a little portion of food for them to share equally. In another day they will have no food even to share. So in that case all what they do is stay in hunger. Starvation is written only for the poor and needy people. They starve, they survive and they manage. These things are quite common for them. There is no strength in their body, no vitamins in their body, no power in their body, no safety in their life. All these things are because they don’t have enough food to eat or drink. If we are rich, if we have sufficient money, if we are very excellent in our financial background, if we have lots of wealth and if we are living a luxurious life, then take little time to think about the people who are suffering from hunger and starvation. Visit them or find a way to help them and do the help without a limit. Look into their empty stomach, look for their hunger, their difficulties and problems. Try to help them and do the needful. The blessings of the poor people are the most valuable and the most precious gifts that you can earn in this world. These blessings, you will take them with you, the time you die, and go to your graves. Remember, the money and wealth you save in this world will never come with you at the time of your death and even to your grave. Once you die, your money and your wealth will go to another hands. Your family will never have time to remember you, even they will never allocate their time to visit to your graves. So remember to give charity as much as you can and earn the blessings of the poor and needy people. Their blessings will follow you to your grave. Be a great winner by giving charity. Charity is alive and there is no death for it. By: Dawood ✍ Written on : 08.02.2022

Yeah. It’s outdated. But here’s the thing… we would have swallowed this hook, line and sinker at the time it was filmed. We should be proud of how far humanity has come that we can look at this and instantly know that this documentary company would be raked over the coals if they produced this today. There’s something to be said for that. This is our old story of a small area of one city in Kenya, at that point not distinguishable by westerners from the rest of the African continent. Hey guys, our reactions to this video shows our progress. Let’s really celebrate that. It’s like looking at a “before” photo to measure our progress.

THE WORD LOVERS MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL.
Grammatical blunder: Your title should have been: “A Story of Africa’s Street Children” not “A Story of African Street Children”. The story was about Street children located in Africa, not in African which obviously doesn’t exist. People from Africa are referred to as Africans. It is imperative to know the difference between Africa and African, which are two different words entirely that cannot be used interchangeably.

This is a one sided story. Documentary should be comprehensive and try best to tell the full story because not everybody that lives in the area been shown in the documentary lived in abject poverty. There is affluent areas as well but Caucasian preferred the narrative that all Africans are poor. White people also have lots of people who are homeless and lived in abject poverty.

A certain part of humanity is obsessed with money, power, stardom, materialism, luxury, awards and recognition. Like it‘s a rat race of who has more Millions and Billions of $, who has the biggest mansion, the biggest social media, who is the biggest superstar in Hollywood, who wears the most expensive dresses, who holds the highest position in politics or in big corporate. And i am just here and thankful to live a stable middle class lifestyle and not the life displayed in the video.

SERIOUSLY, DID YOU DO ABSOLUTELY NO RESEARCH INTO TRADITIONAL AFRICAN SOCIETAL AND CULTURAL NORMS? This is just traditional African culture, and the way they organise their society and villages…. The boys have ALWAYS lived apart from their mothers at a very young age, and are sent to live with the MALES of the village and learn the ways of men.. They would traditionally learn to track and hunt game, ..and learn to fight and the art of war…. There are no traditional “ Christian” families , with mother and father family groups..raising their children together. The boys live with the men, the girls live with the women. …and their roles are clear and severely delineated..The women farm, grow and gather food from the land, build huts , cook and have babies and care for them; the girls remain with the women and take care of all the everyday life necessities…and feed, clothe , provide shelter and take care of the everyday needs of the men and boys.. The men are warriors, they defend the tribe, capture slaves, kill their enemies and hunt wild game to feed all the villagers…. But …these firm societal structures are floundering…but they still exist. But it is NOT “ overcrowding “ that forces boys out of their mother’s hut and society, it’s his MALENESS …it’s just how the tribal structures of African cultures work…and they’re not easily changed or adaptive…and they’re caught betwixt western and African societal structures, values and cultures…

Knowing that they are poor and can’t provide enough food for their kids. They continued to have so much more kids . Do they not have condoms or know what safe sex is? Or are they depending on sympathy and sorrow from the world to help them. These adults disgust me. I only feel bad for these innocent children that never ask to be born to this condition.

11 The rich, the poor and the trash | DW Documentary (Inequality documentary)

Back to menu         IMPORTANT CONTENT

8 jun. 2018

Inequality is growing. The rich consume much more than the poor and produce much more waste. Trash has become a symbol of our times.
 
But what some people throw away, means money to others and a chance to survive. The amount of waste we generate and the way we deal with it speak volumes about our consumption and prosperity – and also about our levels of social inequality. In the documentary, “The Rich, the Poor and the Trash,” co-directors Naomi Phillips and Thomas Hasel explore the lives of people both working with and living off trash. Twenty-eight-year-old Godwin Ochieng lives in Dandora, a slum in Kenya, where one of the largest dumpsites in Africa is located. He spends his days combing through endless piles of garbage coming in the truckload from the city’s wealthier districts in the hope of finding something to sell: for him, the mountain of trash is a lifeline. One person who tries to help youths in the slum is Godwin Ochieng’s role model, hip-hop star Juliani, who also comes from Dandora. The founder of the youth club wants to radically change Kenyan society. Meanwhile, halfway around the globe in one of the world’s richest and most expensive cities, Pierre Simmons searches the streets of New York for cans he can sell to recycling companies. In 2014, Pierre Simmons gave a speech about poverty to the United Nations on behalf of “Sure we can”, a non-profit recycling center in New York. “I don’t think anybody here at Sure We Can wants to live like Wall Street people,” says Pierre. Both men live in countries where the gap between rich and poor is vast. But the social gap between the US and Kenya is also huge. Economists Lucas Chancel and Kate Raworth warn against the consequences of a huge imbalance at both the national and international levels. They believe it poses a great danger to our entire system of values in the West, to our understanding of democracy and, ultimately, to our economy.

This really breaks my heart. I grew up as well struggling, was lucky to leave East Africa for Europe at the age of 16 for football, now 24. I’ve been exposed to the better side of life. I truly understand what these people are going through. Being exposed well, my ambition now, is to help these people and speak to the young ones and fill them with hope and make them attain education, i wanna come up with the biggest program in the region. God bless the move.

Story is same. If these poor become rich, they also do the same. Unless people change their mentality there’s no hope. Children should be taught in schools the difference between need and want and the importance of minimalism.

what an amazing documentary exploring real heart breaking issues. Literally watching them pick through that trash to find food made me cry, its truly awful to see people living like this. To know that ive been privileged and lucky to have the simple things in life humbles you even more. So sad to think that you can be completely against this horrible life but yet you really have no idea how to get involved in the change. I always find myself frustrated that i dont really know how to help, especially with these types of issues being a problem throughout the world (in its own way). However, obviously this is a sad extreme case of poverty, that nobody should have to endure

This was one of DW’s best documentaries show the struggles of different individuals from different parts of the world. Unfortunately inequality is a bitter pill to swallow and will always be there and has been there even in the past. The gentleman, Pierre is an orator and knows what he is talking about, I wish all the best for him. My country Kenya indeed has inequality and always has been there. I just pray our government could come up with a system to rehabilitate people who leave in the streets as well as those in informal settlements and train them with skills that can sustain them for the rest of their lives. Education is not enough to help someone through life..they need people skills as well. By doing that the economy gradually grows as youth unemployment. Lastly, Health care is also another issue.

Your documentaries are excellent! Thought provoking! Candid! Raw! Informative! I love them! I’m Kenyan and as much as I have heard of what happens at the garbage dumps, watching it puts it in a whole different perspective. We may not be in a position to do much now but opening our eyes to what is happening will continue to stir our collective conscious and prompt us to taking action that will re calibrate our society’s wealth distribution patterns . Keep up the good job DW!

I am in Kenya and I would love if DW crew would come and focus on corruption. Political and public servants are very corrupt and there is no way a country can have economical equality if 60% of revenue goes into paying salaries and recurrent expenditures, 30% is stolen directly through tenders that nothing is delivered !

My husband and I just moved from NewYork back to the south of America. We’re both college educated but it was extremely hard living in NewYork. The world will never learn. Poor people who become rich look down on the poor forgetting they were once poor. Rich people just don’t care. No other way to say it.

Yes, this is an excellent doc, no doubt about it. However, it should also be pointed out that our planet is a complex, organic web of ecological systems which have been pushed beyond their limits by the overgrowth of the human population, which, of course, has polluted most of the planet, but also represents a threat to the environment by the overuse of natural resources which cannot supply such an absurd amount of people with so many daily needs, and especially fresh water. Responsive but humane birth control (and by this I´m not advocating absurdities like late abortion at all!) is not a matter of upper classes imposing limits over the lower ones on the number of children they may or not have but a crucial concern which should be a duty to all social classes in truly civilized societies. Also, although I am a vegetarian for the sake of Animal Rights itself, it should be pointed out as well that the meat industry is one of the actual responsible factor for both the destruction of the environment and world hunger itself.

DW thank you so much for airing this. Especially the Kenyan bit, i come from Kenya and i cried when i watched this. It saddens me that most of this few rich people have earned their wealth from our tax money. They have really sabotaged our lives so that i we will forever be their slaves. The situation is pretty much the same in all sectors including the most vital sector like health. Thank you DW

I believe the key is for regular or wealthy people to start “simple” businesses to hire the homeless / ultra poor. These people already work insane hours to survive day to day, they would provide a great workforce for employees, and would work regular hours and contribute to society with their full potential. This is how it is solved, not through “higher taxes” ..

I came to the US from a poor country, with no money, no contacts, no knowledge of my way around here and 15 years later I’m making a good living for myself, realizing my dreams. Inequality is a reality anywhere you go and there will always be the rich and the poor, that’s how it is. The difference between the have and the have nots in the developed countries is a matter of freeing yourself of your negative state of mind and laziness. Have a plan, work hard and smart and you’ll make it. It bothers me when I see Americans complaining about inequality while living in the most prosperous nation in History. If you can’t make it here, you can’t make it anywhere.

Great documentary. I have lived through the poverty he is talking about. Not quite in the streets as the Canadian welfare system used to protect most people, but the rice and onions, bologne and Kraft dinner. Ripped clothes (BEFORE they were considered cool) to school. I’ve been fortunate to be VERY hard working since those days and have supported the food bank as well as poor individuals during that time. My point is that if EVERYONE that can afford to have a little bit to help someone else out, the amount of extreme poverty would be eliminated. It’s not that unrealistic to say that either. Considering one guy in New York rents a room for his family for $35 a month, me or someone else like me could easily pay that and then he can focus his resources on food instead. God help us though. The poorest people seem to give the most. God forbid a middle class or even rich person give up $35 a month to help another. That half a tank of gas or a movie and snacks for one. I’m currently unemployed and receive a very small amount of assistance each month. I was actually able to buy $60 in groceries a week ago. There was a poor Muslim lady outside asking for food. I gave her a bag full of my food because I know when I run it this week, my parents and friends will help me with no questions asked. She has kids but was still trying to refuse the bananas and pudding I was giving her because she didn’t want MY daughter to do without. I insisted anyways. Such a small sacrifice but it made such a huge difference to her. The re-distribution of wealth, even a tiny fraction of it can change lives for the better. Side note, the beggars who sit outside the liquor store and beg for change piss me off. I always offer them food, granola bars or cookies that I keep in my car. If they refuse, FUCK them. They’re looking for whatever their next high is, whether alcohol or drugs. And most of the time they do. Several 25-35 year olds do this, and there’s no reason they can’t work. If you’re that sick, get your fix, work for a few hours and earn enough to get high AND buy some food. If I asked any of the liquor store beggers to come to my house and cut the grass or shovel the walk in exchange for a meal and $10, theyd swear at me. Anyways sorry for the rant. God bless you all.

Very good story DW. In Kenya they could pick up food from stores and shops to redistribute it. They could build a trash sorting business and employ people. Jobs are becoming harder to find especially depending on a person’s age. Everything is going up in the U.S. Catching up is part of the struggle. I collected cans in Brooklyn for a little while. I got outside everyday rain,sleet or snow and made some decent change.

Watching this video reminded me of how far I have come and how thankful I should be. I used to be poor in a third world country but sometimes I get so caught up complaining about my job and other dumb stuff in life such as not having as large a back yard as my neighbors so that my kids can run around and play that I forget about the times I went to bed hungry. I feel for these people. I just don’t have enough for my family right now to be stable so it is hard to donate.

Another outstanding and informative DW Documentary, countries who invest more into their populations education should be rewarded for it and get very low interest rates with longer extensions in paying it back when they borrow money from the world monetary fund. Double the price of recycled materials 5 cents for a can, no lets try 10, the people that collect these materials usually spend their money straight away, which goes straight back into their economies. a win win for both sides.

Throughout these years I have changed my mind completely. This man is so right saying people work to buy useless stuff. Who needs the newest phone every year if you have one that works? Who needs the newest TV if you have one which works perfectly? Even clothes. I‘ve looked at people who can’t get enough of accessories, clothes, new watches etc. Poor people are happy to have 2 shirts to wear and there we are buying products without giving it a thought if we really need them. When I am going to a mall I get mad at those advertisements everywhere, trying to force me to go in and buy all the crap things. I‘ve learned to just ignore all of this and not spending money. If I get the chance some day and I will be blessed with lots of money I will definitely come up with an idea to help poor people or people in need in general.

We live in a ‘consume to landfill’ culture and it also includes people. I lived and worked in Kenya for 3 years in the early 90s when the population was 25 million. It was just like in this video. There was an effort by the government to let people know that having 2 children should be the limit, but the population is now 50 million and any economic gains the country has made have not trickled down to the poorest of poor. Large families, multiple wives is still the culture.

15:00 As a New Yorker, I can testify that people throw out a lot of stuff that would blow your mind. The issue is that with limited space/ no car/ stairs a lot of people find it easier to just throw things away. I have seen pretty nice furniture on the side of the road but had to leave it because I had no way of transporting it.

I have always asked that question. I try to help in the best way that I can. Some people claim to be a humanitarian, but their spending is unnecessary (ie: thousands of $ for one day dress, or jacket, or handbag). There is the same poverty in the Philippines. It breaks my heart. My dream is to win the lottery so I can help the poor. God bless you, Sir!

our problems in Kenya are our own making. we know where the barrier to provision of infrastructure for the poor to better their lives is. we know who is standing in the way of progress. the same people hindering progress today have been lying to Kenyans since our parents were young. yet somehow we align ourselves behind them every election. every election we deny better leaders a chance and choose ignorant billionaires whose fathers (fake freedom fighters) are responsible for our problems to feed our tribal ego. 57 years after independence we are yet to learn that politicians no matter their tribe or political affiliation are collectively ignorant of our needs. not just in Kenya. all over Africa genuine leaders have stood out but citizens overlooked them to elect the same people who sell us out to the west either through corrupt utilization of African resources or irresponsible borrowing and playing puppets to western masters. I am afraid but we will sufferuntil we open our eyes to this fact.
