Street Children of Butare
There are thousands of street children in Butare. Some bare crosses. Some are amputees on crutches. Some are blind. Some have AIDS. Everyday they scavenge for food. They make their home in trash heaps boardering the streets. At night, these children burrow beneath blankets of rotted refuse, heads at odd angles to the highway.
Some of these children are orphans, others come from broken or abusive homes, a sobering fact which can turn street life into near sanctuary.
