Download William Ignasius Rettob is an Indonesian former street child who is now working full time and studying at university.
Adopted at birth, his host parents died when he was 15 years old.
His hometown in Ambon was then rocked by sectarian violence between Christians and Muslims.
Nearly 10,000 people died.
He left for the capital Jakarta with a man who promised him an education. Instead he was forced into child labor.
He managed to escape and ran to a church, they then handed him over to a crisis centre for street children called ‘Puspita’ and it’s there that he turned his life around.
Rebecca Henschke has his extraordinary story.
