Summary:
Angela Murray went to Guatemala with the charity 'Toybox'; what she discovered changed her life. She went to give, but stayed to receive. "I don't think anything can truly prepare you for the experience of working with street children, " she explains. "It is so easy to think of 'street children' as one big group. Once you start working with them, they become individuals. A picture doesn't tell you what it smells like at the rubbish dump in Zone 3 of Guatemala City; a place that was home to young Oscar and many others. Only when you stand there do the tension and darkness really hit you." "Through the Eyes of a Street Child - Amazing Stories of Hope" tells the hard-hitting stories of the children she met on the streets. At the same time, the stories of the children who now have the chance of a new life off the streets are truly inspiring. They are an encouragement to us all that it really is possible to make a difference to the poor. This book is about their stories told through their own eyes and from their perspective.
