Eleven more little victims

These nine boys and two girls were brought to us today by relatives who can no longer care for them.  Most come from Port-au-Prince.  None are going to school.  We haven't accepted them as we still have to verify their backgrounds, interview them individually and get them checked out by the clinic.  They were on their way there when I caught them with my handy camera.  The trauma of the January 12th earthquake is still happening for these children.
Maybe if the relief effort was a little less centralized in PaP, these children could stay with their families and not be perceived as another mouth to feed when there's too little food.
