So these are two little girls from the Hacienda Orphanage in Tijuana Mexico. This orphanage is not a good place. It breaks my heart every time I go there. But what is amazing are this children and how happy they are. The Girl against the fence is very young, I would say 2-3. I had meet this girl a year ago and when she was 1 she had some sort of infection in her right eye. I remember her crying so hard and us just holding her for hours trying to get her to stop. At one point I had been holding her for about an hour and I had gotten her to stop crying. I handed her off to a friend Brandon and withing 10 seconds she trough up all over him! Perfect Timing! What's sad is that the fence she is looking out of in this picture is a gate to her room. The toddlers are kept in this small room with no windows to look outside. They are kept there all day but sometimes they open the door and let the kids look out a gate to watch the older kids play. So sad that this girl is that old and hasn't ran outside and played more then maybe once or twice in her life. The girl below is a little older, i would say 5-7 range. She was always wanting her picture taken. I have about 50 of just her. She has a little Pocahontas in her.

Love her face by the fence. You really captured the moment here!
ReplyDeleteThe one of her face by the fence is my favorite. My first thought was that it looked like she was locked in somewhere, looking out. And then I read your post and it brought tears to my eyes.
