Boys Drinking. The dark is where many of the street children in Lima say they have met the devil. Talking of Jesus they call him the man on the stick. Speaking of the forces of darkness they say, we know what your talking about, we meet the evil one when we're hiding and sniffing glu in the dark. The recent revelations surrounding the Angelica Kluk murder trial, is a reminder to all Christian Communities that we have a responsibility to those who serve and to those who are...
