Street children in Rumbek lakes state are expecting bright dawn By: Abraham Daljang maker KAMPALA:   a good number of street children in Rumbek town, the capital of lakes state, is looking at the bright side of their lives as they expect government support and the development of their talents.   Rumbek town has an increasing number of street kids, especially boys 5-17 years of age bracket who leave their homes and come to live on the street of the small town where they live by scavenging for food in gutters and the leftovers in small restaurants.  Finally, they converge at freedom square, where they spend their nights on a dusty and cold football playground.  Due to hardship in getting food, some of these children have resorted to a dangerous game of pick-pocketing and snatching any valuable item they lay their hands on.

These boys are too young to be doing that kind of business, but no one seems to notice this or maybe people see it but shrug it off as none of their business. One day as I was on hurry to the city centre, I saw a boy riding a motorcycle, he stopped to ask me if I needed a lift; I asked him how old he was and he told me he is sixteen. He refused to answer many questions about why he chose to be a motorcyclist at that tender age instead of going to school. These children are at risk in many ways: Firstly, they are too young to control the motorc...
