Tribute to the children

During our study tour we met so many children, who gave us moments that are unforgettable. Flores would not have been the same if there had not been children running after our truck cheering "Hello, Mrs! Hello, Mr!".

There was only one girl who did not lose her mind about us entering the village, and she was however very calm.

 

 

 

If you are a 13 year old mother, and have a child who is four, you became a mother at the age of nine. Strange? Yes, maybe, but that is just the way it is in the rural districts of Indonesia, we were told...
