Mama Ester in her crËche in Mfuleni township, Cape Town, on Friday, Sep. 2, 2005. Here women from the community leaves their children for a little charge, only to come back after work to take them home. She is also part of the community, and gives her best to help in this difficult situation, working with overcrowded facilities and little room or material for the kids. She is also in the process of adopting a child, 2 and a half year old Anele, HIV+. Adoption are not an easy task for foreigners as the government favours the children to keep living and being sustained in their communities for traditional reasons. Mama Easter will be soon a foster-mum, someone caring and being responsible for one of the millions orphans of Africa. She wants to love him and try to give him a better future.
