My name is Benedictor Julias. I was born in 1989 in the region of Mara. I never knew my father and lived only with my mother. When I was seven years old, my mother left home and left me with my uncle. After my mother left my life became very difficult. My uncle treated me badly, he didn’t love me at all. This is why I decided to leave and to go to Dar es Salaam. Life in Dar es Salaam was very hard, because I didn’t have a place to sleep and it was difficult to get food, but all this was still better than living with my uncle
After living on the streets for a long time I got help from a boys centre in Bagamoyo and got the chance to go to school. Unfortunately this centre had to deal with some problems. My dream is to get a good education in secondary school and after, so that I can leave poverty behind.
Yours truely,
Benedictor Julias
