Former Orphan Creates Safe Haven For Street Kids
Crouching in the back of a van is a young boy with a fresh injury. He'd been hit with a bottle when he got into a fight. Stanislas Lukumba, a tall, good-looking, fortyish nurse, checks for shards of glass as the driver shines his cell phone on the wound. For the past eight years, Stanislas has made nightly trips in the van, a mobile clinic that runs in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Stanislas, a former orphan himself, intentionally stops in neighbourhoods where street children hang out. He is accompanied by Kapeta Benda Benda who interacts with street children and listens to their problems. Together, this courageous and compassionate duo engage heart-to-heart with some of Kinshasa's most vulnerable kids, fostering trust, connectivity, and opportunities for a better life.
