...Rosa's Grandfather Willie brought me into the building they were now living in (it's more like a bombed out condemed shell of a building - but at least it's some shelter, as Rosa was sleeping on the street last year)...we had just unloaded the 50kg's of rice I got for Willie's Family, and he showed me the child sleeping in the foreground is from Rosa's neighborhood, and Willie rescued her the day before from a local children's shelter, where he said she was being neglected and where her face was covered with small cuts & scratches....Willie always told me neglect & violence can be common in the children's shelters.
