bites (click photo to enlarge)

another family that we gave some food, clothing and toys to. i must emphasize that these families were not asking for help, they were just going about their daily business... in this case - collecting firewood. the young girl on the left had many insect bites on her arms. when asked if they were mosquito bites, her grandmother replied 'no, the cockroaches bite her when she is sleeping.'. heart-wrenching stuff!
