Family History:
Brian does not exactly where he comes from. He remembers living with a lady who told him that she picked him from the streets of Mwanza when he was about two years. Later this lady told Brian to go find his mother. Brian left and wondered in the streets in Mwanza without seeing his mother. He stayed in the streets for sometime (does not know exactly how long) and later his friends took him to Fonelisco (a children rescue centre in Mwanza) where he met Ginai and his brothers who introduced him to Bethany. These boys had been to Bethany and after two weeks their brother Isaac convinced them to escape. They went to Fonelisco and later realized that life at Bethany and at Fonelisco is totally different, so they decided to come back to Bethany with Brian.
Brian is very happy and he likes it here because he is being looked after so well: “I like Bethany because they treat us nicely, we eat very nice food and we sleep well everybody on his bed and the clothes are very good.
