Solomon Njoroge is only 14 and has grown up without a mother. He last kicked a soccer ball on the evening of July 7 this year, moments after hurriedly changing out his Bibirioni Primary School uniform, where he is in Grade 9.
The last sound he heard was not referee's whistle but crack of gunfire that shattered his legs and possibly his dreams. Now, he is not sure he will ever play football again.
