These are my kids!

...of the Centro Infantil Estrellitas-Waritas, which translates into "Little Stars", both in Spanish and Quechua. Those are not all of them by the way, there are way more!


This is little Mateo, with his sister. (At least I believe it is his sister?? I have seen her for the first time today.)


Mateo, Reina, and two little stars I dont know the names of yet.



They adore being photographed :p They also love to do my hair. It gets almost scary when suddenly 9 kids jump you and start pulling on your hair in every possible way.. especially when you know that a couple of those kids have lice.. :s But they are just so sweet.. how could I not allow them :)




I really love working with them. Even though it is very difficult at times and I am only at the beginning of everything, I feel like this is something I could spend 40 years and more working in.

    Hallo Anja, ein bißchen verspätet heute der Kommentar zum letzten post, aber besser spät als nie :-)
    Erst jetzt hatte ich Zeit genug mit den Text zu den Bildern zu Gemüte zu führen, ach, ich freu mich, dass dir die Arbeit Freude macht. Nichtsdestotrotz sind die meisten Kinder auf dem Bild arme Würstchen, ihre Zukunft vermutlich ziemlich ungewiss. Warum haben die soviel Spaß mit Deinen Haaren?? Bitte melde dich auch, wenn das Paket angekommen ist... es wäre furchtbar wäre es unterwegs irgendwo verloren gegangen... die vielen schönen Malsachen!!

    Bussiiiiii Maam
