Workshop Note
Should I have posted this photo instead, as original post ? Anyway, I find the expression of the new "mother" very moving ! What do you think ?

2 street children cared for by FOMAED (Fondation Miragoanaise d’Aide aux Enfants Défavorisés = a small, local charity financed by local businessmen, created and run by an enthousiastic, dedicated team of persons – it takes care of street children, abandonned babies and pregnant girls, giving them access to school or to informal education).
The baby girl had been found abandoned some days earlier and was given a new « mother » who would bathe, dress, feed her, herself having had a very difficult time as a street youngster (no detail was given, but one can easily imagine, in that harbour city) ; getting such a responsability gave her back some pride and she is now learning new skills thanks to the organisation.
