Now you are eleven! And your Mum works hard to give you a birthday party - the first one for years. She cooks and bakes. Her friend makes the dress with the lovely yellow material she has. Just look at your wonderful cake! So much love gets showered on you. When you...

It's a cold winter morning and we're at the traffic department. This is because Roampie, one of the boys in the little school I ran for street children for a while wanted to be a traffic cop one day. I have got a kind cop to take us on a tour. Roampie's friend Virgil...
