Calvin Samweri
Calvin is 7 years old. We don’t know a lot about his past, but we’re told he has no living parents. He was brought to TunaHAKI by a community leader outside Moshi, along with his brother Dixon. We believe their family left them in the streets.

"The children at TunaHAKI are amazing. When you hear their stories, and the
traumas they have been through, it is difficult to believe that they are the
same smiling, beautiful and friendly children before you. I know this is due
to the work David does with them. Kids that grow up on the streets have very
low self esteem and learn not to trust anyone, and yet these kids, through
their acrobatic routines, are forced not only to trust one another, but to
work together as a team and a family. And at the end of it all, they have
something to be proud of. It’s beautiful and it works."
