Sisters of Charity

HIV/Aids orphans looked after by one of the older Sisters. I met the Sisters in Mozambique, whilst visiting the orphanage on a Save the Children fact finding mission.

It is a beautiful facility, in a poor area, with happy kids playing in the courtyard.

The picture is dedicated to the Sisters.

The photo has just been awarded an "Honourable Mention" in the "Charity in Focus" Exhibition in New York City, July 20-22 2007. See www.charityinfocus.org/introduction
