Slum kids

Today the second batch of summer school started, two more week (four days) with a new group of children. I will post some picture collages in two weeks time when all is finished (to safe you the agony of a day by day report).

The most heard sentence around the slum is "Auntie Photo!" these days. All the volunteers are taking their cameras or smart phones and lots of photos are made.

I snapped some cutie pies today. They are young and adorable, but a lot wiser than children of the same age that live under better circumstances. I can't help but wonder what will become of them. I can only hope and pray they will have a better life than their parents.

On our way to the car we saw a tiny baby boy, only 15 days old.



And then there was this guy, symbolic of most of the fathers in the slum: a drunkard. He slept there on the hard concrete floor, without being bothered by the noise of the children around him... We did check if he was still alive and he was, but what kind of life is it?
