Where does the community start?
Obviously the community start from households right? But do many people really know this. In this small writing, I'd like to speak on behalf of those young men and women in the streets here in Australia, this is not to blame anyone in particular I'm just being general hopefully no one takes it personally. Let me ask this, as the community where did we go wrong? How come some of us knows they have relatives young people in the streets and they don't attempt to talk them out of the streets life or maybe send them to rehabilitation centres where they can get help?.
I personally do speak to many young women and men in the streets and mostly they blame families who brought them to diaspora, specially many children who were brought by their relatives not necessarily their mothers or fathers, those kids who were bright by their relatives are the majority out here in the streets and they often claimed not to be looked after by the relatives who brought them with them, such claims may not necessarily be facts for some, but are truth to some youths.
However, my question is, if individuals failed to take care of their kids or their relatives kids whom they sponsored by adding them in their forms to come with them. Why did we fail collectively as the community?. I personally believe if we were united, such disperse could have been be mitigated.
Dear community members, the streets is winning, many of our youths are being hooked into the streets life day by day and one by one. Every day their one victim attracted to the streets of Australia. If we fail collectively as such to unite South Sudanese community here in diaspora, could we at least unite small sub-communitues and to help the youths, there must be something a community could do to discouraged youths from going into the streets, especially families need orientations.
I know some families are broken, but the sub- communities still have the power to make the most important decisions about the youths street flow pandemic. Streets is wining. What possibly could be done to help our youths? I just hope soon enough we would wake up and do some tangible action to recover from this issue. However, the question is on you the reader is there a close relative person you know in the street, and if so, what are you planning to do to help that young person?, there must be a solution, rehabilitation is one solution or send them back home to SouthSuda forever or for the time being until thei regain their consciousness and maybebrkng them back of they wised up, it works for some. Please do not ignore your young ones in the streets.
