Street children need our care

by Michel J. Barrette

Drawing on widespread international research aqnd experience with street children, especially within the African context, aqnd applying to the South African situation, the author tackles the central issues of this phenomenon: * Who are the street children? * Why are they on the streets? * How can they live there? * What can be done to help them? This book aims to create greater awareness and understanding of street children, to change negative perceptions, to make available unpublished research material and, above all, to encourage people to become involved - to work with these marginalised children in search of a better life.
