It was on Monday morning. When I was with my sister going to school on our way to school. My sister got an accident she was step buy a lorry.
Then I said help same few people came then they toke her to the hospital. After taking her to the hospital.
I ran home very fast when I reached home. I got my mother sleeping. I was shock. Because I could not under stand why she his sleep and her child she his in the hospital my mother told me I don’t understand. What you are taking about and then I explain for her. And then I told her what as happened.
Saw we went fast to the hospital. When we reached to the hospital the nurse told me that the patient she his in ward. Saw we went to see. Her to the ward when we reached to the ward my mother cried.
After that we went to the police station and writer a statement. Saw the drive was arrested saw went back to the hospital. Saw after two weeks my sister was back home.
I visited my aunt last Sunday. She lives in a neighboring estate I took my bag and got on a bus. At the fist journey we went well the a man I had never seen got on the bus he was wear a black jacket, a red shirt, a black trouser and a blue scarf.
He looked at me closely. ’I begin sure I have seen you before’ he said.
Do you move to this town two weeks ago from Nairobi?
Do you go to school near the city center?
I begin surprised I had never been to this town. No I replied I lived in mathare.
I being sorry” he said the man. I think I made a mistake.
You looked like a girl who chased my chickens. Out of my compound two weeks ago’, for the rest of the journey.
Saw I kept thinking of the girl who looked like me.
It was Sunday morning when I visited my aunt and on my way back home I heard that my neighbor is in the hospital. I knew that my neighbor was pregnant so I decided not to go home not to go home straight and I went to the hospital.
When I reached to the hospital, I was confused, because I did not know the room which she was admitted and I decided to sit on a bench after a few minutes I saw a nurse and I asked the nurse if there is a woman who has been admitted in the hospital and the nurse asked me if the woman was pregnant and I replied yes.
Then the nurse went and I continued sitting on the bench. After five minutes the relatives of the woman came and families members.
Then nurse came and asked the family members the name of the woman and they told her that her name is Ruth Akoth.
I asked the nurse if there is any bad news and the nurse told me yes. The woman has died but the child is a live. The father asked the nurse whether the child is a boy or a girl and the nurse told him the child was a boy.
After one week, we buried the woman and the baby was left with his father. The father did not feed the child and he did not have time to look after him because he was an alcoholic. The baby became dirty, weak, and sick and he died.
If the father was not alcoholic the baby could have not died and if the neighbors could have taken the care of the baby.
It was last Saturday morning when I was going to the shop and I saw two policemen taking drugs. I saw one of them smoking bhang and the other one drinking alcohol. I was so shocked that I ran home very fast and I found my parents sitting outside of the house. They looked at me and asked me what was wrong. I told them what I saw.
My parents asked me where I saw the two policemen and whether they were wearing police uniforms. I told them that they were not wearing uniforms but I saw them with guns and handcuffs. My parents asked me if I was sure and I told them yes.
My parents asked me to take them to the officers. When we got there, we saw that they had caught three boys. My father asked the policemen why they had done that and they said that the boys were caught smoking bhang and drinking alcohol. My father asked the policemen why they were taking the boys even though they themselves were doing drugs just a few minutes ago. The policemen started taking the boys to the station.
We followed them up to the police station. The policeman asked my father what he wanted and my father said that he wanted to write a statement. The policeman said that he would have to come back next week on Saturday. So we went home.
The next week came, so we went to the police station and the policeman told my father that we would have to go to the courts. When we reached the court, my father told me to not be shy and to tell the truth about what I saw. The policemen were arrested.
After two days, I saw the same two policemen taking drugs again. I asked my neighbor which day they were released from jail and she said yesterday. I went home and told my parents. My father said they probably gave the judge a bribe.
I want to tell everyone that corruption is the worst thing in our society. Policemen, you have to be the first people to stop drug abuse. If you are taking drugs and you tell somebody to stop doing the same, he or she will not take you seriously. So I want to tell the police to stop abusing drugs as they should be our role models, not criminals
I had a friend whose name was Ruth. She was a very good friend from my school. She was a very beautiful girl and clever After a few days, I heard that she had a boyfriend.
I was shocked when I heard that because she was just 14. I went to her parents and I asked them if they had seen Ruth. They told me no so I went home.
One day my mother sent me to the market to buy some food. When I had just there, I saw Ruth. I could not believe how she had dressed herself, she was crazy. And then I asked her where she was living and she told me, “don’t worry, I will show you.” I went with her and I could not believe that was where she was living since it was small, dirty, and in a bad area.
After some time, two girls came with harmful drugs like cocaine, bhang (marijuana) and brown sugar (heroine). Four boys came and they started doing brown sugar, smoking bhang, and sniffing cocaine. I could not believe that because they were so young, even under eighteen.
A few weeks later, I heard that Ruth was back home. I was very happy because her life was in danger. When I went to see her, her small sister told me that Ruth was in the hospital. I ran to the hospital very fast and when I reached there, her parents told me that she had died. I asked them why and they said, “because of drugs.”
I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY THAT DRUGS KILL
One day, I was walking in the town with my mother. We were going to buy my Christmas clothes. I saw three people looking in my mother’s bag so I asked her if she had closed her bag. She asked me why I had asked her that question so I told her to look behind her. She told me she could not see anyone trying to get into her bag. I was very scared and then after ten minutes I heard a sound of a woman crying. I asked my mother if she heard that. She was shocked when I asked her that. When we were going to see what had happened, we heard that an old woman yelled “Help!”
Three boys had stolen from her three phones and ten thousand shillings. After some time we heard that the police killed the three boys who stole. The woman went to the police station and the police gave her the three phones and ten thousand shillings back. The woman said thank you very much.
What I want to tell the government, the police and everybody else is that this is not the first time that something has been stolen. Everyday you can hear of somebody being robbed. This is because people from Nairobi don’t have jobs. For example, you can hear that somebody has stolen money from the bank. I want to tell the government to give people jobs so they won’t steal from others.
