Joseph and Peter graduate in style!

Joseph Th'iongo and Peter Gathoga used to be street boys (difficult to imagine looking at the photos!).

We rescued them from a life of poverty on the streets, gave them a place at our Sunshine Centre, and arranged for them to go back to school.

Both boys were good with their hands, so after leaving school we enrolled them at polytechnic to learn to be welders. 

They worked hard, learned their trade and passed the national exams. The photo shows them receiving their awards on graduation day.

But their story gets better. Both boys have been employed as welders by Francis Kamau, one of our Sunshine 'old boys' who now runs a successful welding business in Nairobi.
