Patrick’s father was arrested as such they were left with their mother who after a few days abandoned them with his sister Rose Njeri and his brother Joseph Mwangi in a place called Ngoingwa in the outskirts of Thika town without anybody to take care of them.
For almost a month they stayed in a shanty house which was in ruins without any food to eat. The bushes surrounded the house and hey stayed in there. A Good Samaritan noted the situation and reported the matter to the children’s office; later the CRC management rescued them to the center. Patrick now goes to school and he is really happy to study. The rest of the children are with him together with the CRC family.
