Orphanage Bon Samaritain

An orphan child begging for food in the orphanage Bon Samaritain, Croix-Des-Bouques (Haiti). Many families in Haiti are economically not able to care of their children. Sometimes the parents simply let the children abandoned on the street and never come back. These babies usually end in an orphanage (if they are not refused because in Haiti all kind of refuges are generally overfull). Unicef estimates that there are around half a million orphans in Haiti.
