Beautiful Babies


This is why I'm here. Just look at those cheeks! This woman was waiting in line to have her baby weighed to see how she was doing on the growth charts. This is one thing done on antenatal clinic day. The women were so happy to see themselves and their babies on my camera after I took their pictures. I hope to print them out and bring them with me to the clinic so they can have the pictures.

Looking at all these babies I can't help but wonder which ones will survive. When at Kapiri hospital I was told that 1/2 to 3/4 of the admissions are HIV/AIDS complications. Throw in some malaria, TB and malnutrition and these babies have a lot working against them.
