A New Year Party for Street Kids

It’s a beautiful day for street kids when they can have as much fun as possible without any fears. Last week over sixty kids of all ages joined in our end-of-year Street Kid Party at Mercy Centre. The train station kids came in large numbers, followed by the Lumpini Park kids and the kids who live under bridges (many from Rama III bridge in particular). The kids who sell garlands on street corners came with one of our social workers. Street kids joined us from as far away as Samut Prakan. And there were babies and toddlers, too – the offspring of teenage street couples – who came in tow with their young moms and dads.
