Most of these kids travel from most part of Ghana into the city for greener pastures.
But Kojo, 11 years of age and a school dropout travelled from the Eastern part of Ghana into the city on a different agenda. "I came from the Eastern Region to Accra about six months ago in search of my mother but to no avail." He speaks in an interview.

He said, he was introduced into this business by a friend after several efforts to locate the mother proof futile.

Currently, he lives on his own, feeds himself and cloth himself, he stated. Kojo said, he has no intensions of looking for the mother again since he has done enough.

Meanwhile, his colleague Faruk,16 years, also school dropout came from the Ashanti region to visit a friend who deals in the scrap business and has also been introduced into. He speaks off camera.
