When I see streetkids messing around or begging from people on our road or downtown, I fear that one day, they’ll end up being rapists, thieves, murderers, coopted as child-soldiers, or some such horrific scenario. And many do. Their futures seem bleak, almost hopeless.

But then I see the lives being transformed at New Generation. And because we’ve been involved a long time, some of those little kids have now grown up and have bucked the trend beautifully to make a difference in their nation, becoming part of the solution rather than the problem.
