[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
These children are living in the Bethesda orphanage in Igede, Nigeria. Imaging a long corridor, filled up with children. Then, just out of nowhere comes this strange white man. What could one do than crying? Just in a few seconds all were crying.

PS : I live in Ivory Coast and Mali

So they were scared of you...
Long corridor full of children - indeed not the best place to grow up... but what can they do in this densely populated country...
Good to see some pictures from Nigeria: there are not many of them here...
