Nobody Ever Listened To Me

This is a book of the stories of street children from all over the world and their own voices as collected by author David Maidment from many organisation members of the British charity, 'Consortium for Street Children'. It is not an academic book, nor a treatise for practitioners, but is a vivid account in a series of essays and stories of what it is like to be a street child in the 21st century in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and even in the United Kingdom. All royalties and profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Consortium for Street Children (www.streetchildren.org.uk) and the UK charities that have contributed the stories and quotations in the book. David Maidment, after 36 years as a manager in British Rail, was confronted by street children during project work overseas, and became Chair of Amnesty International UK's Children's Human Rights Network, Co-Chair of the Consortium for Street Children from 1998 - 2008 and founded the Railway Children charity in 1995.
