My name is Sharleen Muhonja, aim 17years old. Currently located in Garissa staying with a friend. I consider her friend because she has been there for me ever since I escaped death in a Somalia homestead.
I was the second born in a family of four, unfortunately, my parent divorced and my mother got married to another man. She left us with our father and never bothered to come back. Our dad took care of us since I was five years old until I was ten years when he died of HIV/Aids. My elder sister and I had no one to turn to. She decided to look for a job and through a friend she was able to find out that their ware job advertisements from Garissa County. It was in 2016 May when my sister and I traveled to Garissa so that she could work and support me in my studies. She was nineteen years old, already done with her secondary education and I was 11 years undertaking my primary education.
After 12 hours of travelling, we arrived in Garissa and we were received by the agent. Just immediately she saw me she complained and quarreled my sister because she took me along with her. she took my sister to a home where she was to stay and work. luckily the Somali took me in with my sister and she could work as I helped her out. After working for a month, the owner of the house requested my sister to hand me over to his brother’s house so that I could be cleaning the house and washing utensils for them. She had no choice so she agreed and I was taken away from her.
