  • Afghan orphans wait in line to eat lunch at an overcrowded orphanage in Kabul, Afghanistan September 1, 2002. There are not enough bowls or tables so the 1800 children must wait in line for the next child to finish before they can eat. Despite the huge amounts of foreign aid being brought into the country, many schools and orphanges have seen none of it yet and the alarming rates of child mortality continue to remain among the worst in the world. One in four children die before the age of 5 here. By photographer Ami Vitale
