Children's Stories I was only 2 months old when my mummy died and I was left in the care of my Aunty. She was very poor and couldn’t afford to feed me. When I came to Mission in Action I was 7 months old and weighed only 4 kg. I was slowly starving to death and wouldn’t have lived to my 1st birthday. Now I am almost 2years old. I am very happy, healthy and cheeky. My hobbies are eating, eating and eating. I love to ride my truck and play with blocks.
Bonfas Otieno My mummy ran away and left me in the care of my daddy when I was only 2 weeks old. But my dad became a drunkard and didn't take care of me. As I got older I used to crawl on my bottom to the road and beg for food. I was found by Mission in Action on the 31st May 2004. I was 3 1/2 years, very skinny and weak and I still couldn't walk or talk. Now I can run, sing and smile. I love to play with cars, blocks and ride my bike. Even though I visit with my Dad, Mission in Action is my new home and I am very happy here.
