Photos of a weekend at Kandara Orphanage


Finding a little peace at early morning Chai time


The girls having fun trying to throw a little one up for the photo


My little friends from the baby unit saying "BYYYEEEEE SIIIIIMMOOOONN" - Bless


Coming back to smiles like these make you forget any bad day


Yes one of the daily chores is cleaning the dirt road!


The boys showing off their successful passion fruit tree. Each child has been given an 8ft plot to look after to varying degrees of success but most have really taken it to heart.



I sit on this terrace among this lot and take chai in the morning and take some rays before going to work or chilling out at the weekend. Conslata (2nd from the left) is the cook. Works 6ish to 9ish 24 days on 6 days off for just over a pound a day! Wicked sense of humour and great patience with the kids.


Among the flowers by the Vision Africa volunteer house


Showing off light sticks as bracelets that a friend sent over for the kids.


When I said try throwing him up in the air for the photo I had not expected this far! Did they catch him......?


One of many items of discarded footwear


We tried to get 4 high but organising was like "herding cats" as a good friend used to say!! Will try again soon
