ange in africa...again one aussie girl, 6 weeks, back to the continent that captured my heart

beehive orphanage and the dump school

the dump school kids...these guys go nuts when we come cos they haven't had much exposure to white people...they don't stop touching you!!! all the kids are really small from malnourishment, there are 12 year olds there and looking at them you wouldn't think there's a kid over 7. the village and school is right next to a rubbish dump and there's where most families get their food. before the volunteers started coming to the school about 6 weeks ago, the kids would break for lunch so the kids could go the dump to find their lunch. now money's been provided so the kids are provided with a cooked lunch, for most its the only meal they have so they dig into it.
