For the past 2 years, in my community, there was an orphan girl whose parents had died of HIV/AID’s related complications.
She had no one to call either a brother or sister, as she was the only child.
The only thing left for the poor girl was to live with one of her relatives, who was her aunt. It did not take long, before the aunt turned cruel to her, and would beat her up ruthlessly.
She would be forced to skip classes, as she had to do all the house chores alone. With time, she was forced to drop out of school while in form three.
It became a routine, when she would hold no more, she decided to take off to the streets, and joined other street children.
Life was not a bed of roses for her, as she had to toil harder to get something to bite.She was forced to join them in the business of prostitution, so that she could earn a few coins for buying food.
She traded in this dangerous business for 2 years, later, her health started deteriorating.
She knew she was suffering from HIV/AID’s complications and decided to commit suicide by swallowing rat poison.
