The yellow tins are a sure sign of a group of street kids nearby. It's the most popular drug that is destroying so many of them. This is where most of the guys who have been going along to the Drop-In Centre live - underground in a large drain.
The pipes run through and around them are platforms where the kids sleep. Andrew went down in with Bill Evans from Men For Missions International. They were given a guided tour by one of the kids who lives there. This guy was not proud about his situation (as some can be) but gave a realistic look at life from a street kids perspective. It was a unique and enlightening tour.
Of course it's not just the kids who live down there - there are plenty of cockroaches and the guys also saw a small rat. The kids say there are lots of rats. You wonder why it's so difficult for the kids to leave that behind. It sure places a sense of urgency in our step and our prayers!
