living amongst the garbage

collecting the bales of recyclables the locals have scavenged from the tip

Now out to the 'burbs - stagnant pools infested water everywhere

Arrival at the fist site - centre city daycare . Notice bars on doors

huge age range in the one session - teen boys soon get frustrated though

supplementary classes to school

but the classroom is a haven from that hell

Jo mixes it with the volleyball team

and many of the kids have no shoes

just so want to be cuddled

streets not safe at night - Crack gangs rule

just an awful place to live

never heard of New zealand of course

these care giver/teachers are saints

a great welcoming song
