Veronica Sylvester
Veronica is 8 years old. Her father died, and her mother remarried, and her stepfather had her earning a living from local brew. TunaHAKI made a home visit and found Veronica working without receiving any education. She now lives at TunaHAKI and attends school regularly.

"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."
