Life on the Streets Eddy On the street I lived very bad, because I had nothing to eat and I had no clean clothes either. I was going on with my dirty clothes. Every night it was cold and because of that I inhaled paint thinner and I quarrelled with other kids on the street. When I had nothing to eat, the only thing I did was working hard everywhere. In order to save my life and change, I went to a home: Alalay, where I rehabilitate and now I am a good boy that studies and would like to move on. Omar We have nowhere to sleep. In the morning, we work hard to find breakfast to eat, at midday we work in pensions, and then we sing at night. You must find cardboards to sleep on. You live in the cold, and sometimes without any meals. Anonymous As I would like to tell people that have money about the life that we, boys and girls, have, well, we live a very hard life. We sleep in very disgusting places. Policemen attack us and take away our belongings. They beat us up without reason, while people that have money do not suffer the things we face. If there was equalty, there would be peace and love everywhere on earth. Dennis Life on the street is something desperate, because there are moments that you have nothing to eat. But some kids start to work in shops or markets in the morning. In the afternoon they work in the pensions or for people. And in the night kids beg in the pensions and some of them sell cigarrettes. Kid sleeping in the cementary. Some kids start to steal and that´s how kids survive on the street. Ever Life on the street is something terrible, because you have nothing to eat and you basically must work, and you have nowhere to sleep in the night. Then you have to inhale and sometimes you don´t know where you can get the money from. Franklin Life on the street is very difficult, because you have to find food, and in the night you have nowhere to sleep, and if you join these kids that inhale, first you inhale, then you steal and then you start to kill. And you do not know where you can go, maybe to jail and here they do what they want with you, they rape you and then you die.

They cut your hair if it is too long or coloured. Dennis DIFFICULTIES OF GETTING INTO A HOME To get into a Home what is required is to give everything you have to the educator, or to your brother, or to the person that is responsible for you. Then you take a shower and you begin a new life, or, if you loved the street, you can just take your decision. Page 2 A 7 years old kid working as a shoeshine girl in S. Francisco
