dc.description.abstractlike many developing nations. due to its poverty and economic structures. Sierra Leone has had its share of street children who would beg on the streets from expatriates and wealthy Sierra Leoneans. In the mid-90s. while working in Sierra Leone. 1 was pestered by street kids in Freetown to the same degree that I experience the street kids during my visits to Nairobi If the number of kids approaching for a hand-out is a reliable indication of a country's street child population then I would propose that Freetown. in the mid-90s, had as high an incidence of street children as Nairobi does today. The Salesians began work with street children in the late 90s and presently have about 200 children in their care. Many of these children now live on the streets as a direct result of the increased fighting in the last five years. The idea for this paper arose from a combination of factors: during my pastoral practice in Sierra Leone from 1995 anti: 1998 1 met mans of these voting soldiers at road blocks. in the market, and even at our gate as they begged us 1hr food or soap. Anyone could realize that. in spite of the gun and military garb. these soldiers were still very much children: the media has also presented to the world the plight of child combatants ratheren_US
