         		 Emanuel,taking care of 1 of 5younger siblings,is 1st born from father's 1st marriage.His father's 2nd marriage produced 4step-siblings.Their father's farmer earning <$1p/d to feed >10mouths.Kenya's polygamist where next marriage leaves fewer resources for previous wife&less opportunity for her children,becoming caregivers.Now Emanuel can only dream of having more decent life.His eyes're full of hope,promise and faith that one day he'll be rewarded with the life children of his age deserve.: by africanadventure, Views[664]
         		 Innocent,8-years old'is caregiver to her younger brother Charles.She, likeher peers,does her best though overwhelmed trying to perfom well in her adult role.Regardless of the burden,these young caregivers never complain or refuse.They take their job seriously and look after their little charges responsibly and lovingly.: by africanadventure, Views[502]
         		 Sibling caregiver's traditionally been assigned to girls,but more boys're taking on the role.This shift in task distribution's new positive phenomenon.It's role helping boys build children and family understanding,and become better father and family head.In the photo,9-year old James's taking care of his sister Grace,one of 7 siblings.They live with their sick mother unable to do household tasks.James assumes the role of a caregiver and head.All this at the expense of his 'normal' childhood...: by africanadventure, Views[1026]
         		 10-year old Denis,the elder brother of Hope and Faith,acts as the household head.This role is often left to boys in families where both parents've died or where children've been left by a parent who's only job chance takes him/her to a remote town.Denis also shares the role of a caregiver to their small sister.Having full-time family responsibilities combined with lack of financial means often prevents these children from getting education and impacts their health and future life prospects.: by africanadventure, Views[678]
     
    In Kenya's rural Nyanza region >40% of the population are children <15 years old.Many of thm,mostly girls,act as caregivers to younger siblings.These young caregivers,carrying adult responsibilities,miss the opportunity of a carefree childhood. The photo children are orphans-Hope,aged 8 and her baby sister Faith.Hope took on motherhood tasks after their parents' loss.Faith accompanies her,clinging to her back, in every activity she performs i.e. household chores or fun time.: by africanadventure, Views[752]

    This picture is also at the garbage slum. This picture is of a boy who is on top of a heap of garbage, trying to collect things. The males in the slum were a lot more apposed to having their pictures taken because they did more of the climbing in garbage and searching through everything work. It is powerful to think that a boy has to spend his day looking through trash trying to help his family survive, and seeing it was one of the hardest things i had to do on my trip. : by teddyp, Views[810]
         		 This picture was taken in KCC slum. It is a slum that has a lot of history, and unfortunately in January of 2012, had a fire that burned through most of the slum, leaving many homeless. We went there to visit the people who still lived there, and to see how they are rebuilding and what we would be able to do to help. I named this picture
         		 This picture is at an orphanage that I volunteered at during my stay. The most interesting thing about that orphanage was that, even though i was the volunteer who was supposed to be helping, the kids did all of the work. There was 42 kids in a two bed room house with more laundry to do then i could imagine, with no washing machine and water at only limited points in the day. These were the four elder boys who did work without asking questions, and had so much fun doing it. A far reach from the children I see daily in Canada. : by teddyp, Views[408]
         		 Usually when we see picture like this, its a tourist staring out over an ocean or some beautiful scenery, which is why i find this picture beautiful. This picture is of a woman who lives in a garbage slum in Kenya. She lives, and survives, eats and works off of things that she finds in a garbage dump. Even though it is not much, and to most people it is way below any living standards, to her, this is home, and it is beautiful. Every person we spoke to at this garbage slum was extremely proud of what they had, and were grateful for any and everything that we did for them that day. : by teddyp, Views[361]
         		 This picture was accidentally taken when our driver told us to get ready to take pictures of the great rift valley. So i stuck my camera out of the window and held down the rapid fire. When i looked at the pictures i noticed that in the left side of the picture there is a truck that has turned over, with a man sitting on the wheel. It a weird picture to look at, because the truck honestly looks like it has been there for a long time, and the man just looks like he is taking a break on a tire. : by teddyp, Views[587]
