Picking up now

Today we went to visit an organisation that employs independent
sewing contractors - largely made up of girls from the streets

They showed us their handiwork which was most impressive

Also heard the story of a local man who is going around treating the
homeless under cover of darkness - he appears to be a doctor as he is
well equipped - but no one knows who he is

Kind of cool to think that this is happening when most of the time we
only hear the sad stories

This city is just an incredible set of contradictions

Wealth and poverty - modern and old - filthy and clean

Eloquent English speaking homeless people and beggars who cling to
you talking a language you don't understand -

I'm tired every day because I am always overwhelmed.

Don't really have anything more profound to say than that at the
moment.

Next couple of days we visit more businesses - and I'm keen to see
them

will let you know how it goes
