In what used to be one of the nicest houses in Maputo, 60 street kids are now living. Today I visited the street kids association and they took us for a city tour showing some of the homes of the street kids. Especially interesting it was to see the community living in this big house that was apparently used by some kind of secret service during colonial times. Many people have been tortured here and the house is said to be haunted which gives even the kids difficulties to sleep at night. Apparently they have an agreement that they are allowed to stay in the house. Despite the dirt and miserable conditions the kids are living under it does not look like the worst place to stay. We were warmly welcomed by the community who happily gave us a house walk.
