In the busy city of Nairobi, far away from a caring life athome, lived a group of homeless boys. They welcomed eachday just as it came. On one morning, the boys were packingtheir mats after sleeping on cold pavements. To chase awaythe cold they lit a fire with rubbish. Among the group of boyswas Magozwe. He was the youngest.

When Magozwe’s parents died, he was only five years old. Hewent to live with his uncle. This man did not care about thechild. He did not give Magozwe enough food. He made theboy do a lot of hard work.

If Magozwe complained or questioned, his uncle beat him.When Magozwe asked if he could go to school, his uncle beathim and said, “You’re too stupid to learn anything.” Afterthree years of this treatment Magozwe ran away from hisuncle. He started living on the street.

Street life was difficult and most of the boys struggled dailyjust to get food. Sometimes they were arrested, sometimesthey were beaten. When they were sick, there was no one tohelp. The group depended on the little money they got frombegging, and from selling plastics and other recycling. Lifewas even more difficult because of fights with rival groupswho wanted control of parts of the city.

One day while Magozwe was looking through the dustbins,he found an old tattered storybook. He cleaned the dirt fromit and put it in his sack. Every day after that he would takeout the book and look at the pictures. He did not know howto read the words.

The pictures told the story of a boy who grew up to be apilot. Magozwe would daydream of being a pilot. Sometimes,he imagined that he was the boy in the story.

It was cold and Magozwe was standing on the road begging.A man walked up to him. “Hello, I’m Thomas. I work nearhere, at a place where you can get something to eat,” saidthe man. He pointed to a yellow house with a blue roof. “Ihope you will go there to get some food?” he asked.Magozwe looked at the man, and then at the house.“Maybe,” he said, and walked away.

Over the months that followed, the homeless boys got usedto seeing Thomas around. He liked to talk to people,especially people living on the streets. Thomas listened tothe stories of people’s lives. He was serious and patient,never rude or disrespectful. Some of the boys started goingto the yellow and blue house to get food at midday.

Magozwe was sitting on the pavement looking at his picturebook when Thomas sat down next to him. “What is the storyabout?” asked Thomas. “It’s about a boy who becomes apilot,” replied Magozwe. “What’s the boy’s name?” askedThomas. “I don’t know, I can’t read,” said Magozwe quietly.

When they met, Magozwe began to tell his own story toThomas. It was the story of his uncle and why he ran away.Thomas didn’t talk a lot, and he didn’t tell Magozwe what todo, but he always listened carefully. Sometimes they wouldtalk while they ate at the house with the blue roof.

Around Magozwe’s tenth birthday, Thomas gave him a newstorybook. It was a story about a village boy who grew up tobe a famous soccer player. Thomas read that story toMagozwe many times, until one day he said, “I think it’s timeyou went to school and learned to read. What do you think?”Thomas explained that he knew of a place where childrencould stay, and go to school.

12

•••

Magozwe thought about this new place, and about going toschool. What if his uncle was right and he was too stupid tolearn anything? What if they beat him at this new place? Hewas afraid. “Maybe it is better to stay living on the street,” hethought.

13

�� ر�د ��������ا ے�� سا �� ےس س��اھ� ���ا� �� ۔����� �� ےسا ے�� س��اھ� �� ا��� را� ��الد �ں����� �� ہ�� ا� ���ر ں����م� �� ی��د� ی����� �� ہگ� �� ر� ��ا ����� �� یھ� ۔ی��و�

He shared his fears with Thomas. Over time the manreassured the boy that life could be better at the new place.

14

And so Magozwe moved into a room in a house with a greenroof. He shared the room with two other boys. Altogetherthere were ten children living at that house. Along withAuntie Cissy and her husband, three dogs, a cat, and an oldgoat.

15

Magozwe started school and it was difficult. He had a lot tocatch up. Sometimes he wanted to give up. But he thoughtabout the pilot and the soccer player in the storybooks. Likethem, he did not give up.

Magozwe was sitting in the yard at the house with the greenroof, reading a storybook from school. Thomas came up andsat next to him. “What is the story about?” asked Thomas.“It’s about a boy who becomes a teacher,” replied Magozwe.“What’s the boy’s name?” asked Thomas. “His name isMagozwe,” said Magozwe with a smile.
