SPONSORED Jeff Otieno - April 9, 2008 - Grade 7
Jeff is the last born in a family of two, his elder sister is called Sheryl Achieng, he was never lucky to see his father who died when Jeff was a little boy of 1yr old. Sheryl told us that the family of their father did not want their mother, after some period their uncles sent them and their mother away. They left home and came to the streets. They found one old abandoned house in the street where they took shelter, but after a while,the mother got very sick, they had no money to treat her and that’s when Jeff and his sister went to the streets to beg for food and money. Life became so harsh on them when their sick mother disappeared and abandoned them on the streets. Up to date they still don’t know the whereabouts of their mother. One day as they were begging as usual they came across a woman called Neriah, a member of our Church who was running a small hotel in town. Neriah gave them food, showed them love, and told them to become every day whenever they need food. With time they became so used to Nereah but she could not live with them because she was also a widow with over six children. She came and told us about Jeff and Sheryl and that’s how we got them to still hope Centre. Jeff likes playing soccer, dancing, and singing too. He wants to be an engineer when he grows of age while Sheryl’s desired carrier is to be a nurse.
