Burundi - Ruyigi - Children play in the late afternoon sun

Children, all war orphans play in the late afternoon sun outside the orphanage called Shalom House.
Shalom House was founded by Marguerite Barankitse (known as the 'Angel of Burundi') in 1994. During the genocide, Barankitse, at great personal risk, managed to save 25 orphans, Hutu, Tutsi and Twa and built a home for them. Currently, she has helped more than 10,000 orphans and separated children who can grow up in an "extended adopted family" in security, education and love.
