Job and Mussa.Looking at Musa one can say that he is mentally retarded but he is not.His endless smile and juvial face makes everybody like him.But other rude guys who are living in the streets with him take advantage of his politeness to bull him.He does nothing for a living but loitering and wandering about the town expecting good samaritans to help him by offering thing like food,a little money and etecetera .He sleeps anywhere where the sunsets,in the corridor of the houses,in front of the business premises.
Mr Job and one of the streetchildren girl.For someone who does not have a brave heart,he/she would not dare looking at this girl twice in her eyes.She can hardly move her legs but the tough street life forces her to move here and there searching for food otherwise she may die of hunger.Looking at her one can say that she has been sick all her life because she is very thin and pale like someone who has suffered from marasmus and tuberculosis for quiete a long time.She is not crazy but anything edible that comes in front of her ends up to be food for her.It is so hard to even estimate how old she is.Hadija is one of the children who is living in the streets of the small town of Singida located in the centre of Tanzani in East Africa!
Job, Abdi and Hussein. Back at their camp after a long drive in one of the villages in Singida where their had gone to distribute some clothes for children and women.It is a culture among the local people in the villages of Singida that despite women being the major productive power of the society they are left behind when harvesting the fruits of their hard work.The money obtained after the women's hard work is taken by the men(fathers) and the woman is left with nothing that she cannot even buy her own clothes neither for her children and that is where we found the need of helping these disavadvantaged groups!
