Mama Lumka's Orphanage

Mama Lumka's was a lot of fun... its an orphanage in the center of a township (very low income area with homes made of corguated tin). The kids were so cute! They all have such sad stories...and what is worse is knowing that their are tons of other kids out their stuck in situations like they were with out any help because social workers are so overloaded. There was a really sweet 2 year old who stayed close to me all day... he almost came home with us!

We visited GAPA (Grandmothers Against Poverty and Aids) where grandmothers are caring for their grandchildren. These women sang all day! and of course we joined them it was absolutely amazng to hear their stories and their struggles.
