"Have you ever wondered what it feels like to grow without the love and care of a family? Away from the normal community, and what it feels like to grow up in a children’s home or an orphanage?" asks Stephen Ucembe in this piece for the Daily Nation. In the article, Ucembe describes his experience growing up in an orphanage, where he was placed when his mother died. He also explains how it felt to have donors and volunteers visit the children's home where he was living. "They never knew of the sad and wistful feeling that swelled within me with each visitation, where I felt reduced to the level of animals in our national parks, feeling that I was only to be seen and experienced."
