At the slum today

As every Tuesday I went to the slum today. I brought my camera along and took some photos to give an impression of the day. I also took some videos, but I have to figure out how to get them on the blog. Maybe later.

Daily life

The women were sorting, cutting and cleaning tetra packs. Dirty work and very smelly too.
I bought myself a nice bag today, a woman can never have enough bags! If you feel like you have to have one of these lovely tetra pack bags (and who doesn't?), let me know and I will be happy to get you one (or two or many).

Lots of small Tropicana guava packs gave their life for this bag

Children

The baby in the top left photo is 1 month old and sooooo tiny. If you look closely you can see the black lines on the eyebrows and above the nose. It is believed that you have to make your baby look ugly so the devil won't come to take it.


On the way home I bought a big box of strawberries and some mandarins/oranges. We are totally into smoothies these days, so guess what flavour it will be tonight...

8 boxes in one big box, yummy!
