From Larry Conway, 3 March 2008

Today Kennedy, Jackton and I visited Lilliput and Mlango Kubwa bases (n.b., a "base" is a location where street children and youth gather in the evening to eat what they have gotten that day and to sleep.  Real men have "bases", something they learned from movies like Commando).  At one point I saw 25 people at MKubwa listening to Jackton.  At Lilliput we prayed, encouraged and counseled them.  Elijah's mother still has not been buried; her body is at the morgue waiting for some kind of bill payment.  We spent a long time there counseling them about this.  At Mkubwa we counseled them about life and other topics.  Jackton was the most welcome guest there.  They all liked seeing him there today.

Jackton is in the middle of the youth toward the right side with his arm extended to the left, and he is wearing a wristwatch (something most of us don't do when we go to the streets!!)


(note: MITS has no budget for such things as a burial.  If you want to help the street youth Elijah to bury his mother, the bill at the morgue is usually somewhere around $500.  They will also need up to $300 for a burial.  Please send to Made in the Streets. 409 Franklin Road, Brentwood, TN 37027, note the purpose of the gift, and send Dr. Coulston an email noting how much you have given toward the need.  Email at charles.coulston@made-in-the-streets.org    Thank you for your kindness.)
