These are powerful, poignant images wonderfully presented, but sad and disturbing.
Curious where in TZ? BTW, you may have been there: in Arusha is a restaurant and crafts store. In the open air studio are disabled workers created jewelry from glass, beads and other elements.
If you (or others) are interested, I will post in a separate thread.

The orphanage is just outside a city called Kahama which is in western Tanzania. I never have been to Arusha, but the others that were at the orphanage with me came from Norobi and spent some time in Arusha. I flew in from Dar Es Salaam.
I'd love to see some images from Arusha. I'm always intrigued with foreign places.

People know; there's just more comfort in ignoring it.
Anyway, thanks for sharing. And thanks for the backstory.

Andrew, you are probably right...but seeing the difficulties people face daily occurring right before your eyes has a much different affect on you than seeing it on TV. I know it did on me.
Lovely images. I lived in Dar es Salaam for a while and found the children to be a lot of fun and resilient. I also worked with some orphanages in Uganda as a volunteer. An eye opening experience for sure.
