Happy Birthday, Aunt Alice!
It was Alice's Birthday! Aunt Alice, as they call her at the Hospital!

Dump and Soccer
Hulene's Dumpsite is the bigger I have seen in my entire life! (check on Google Maps)
1,7 million square feet where a 1,2 million people city dumps their trash day by day. Here hundreds of people make their homes and jobs, trying to find and collect anything that can be sold for a few coins or traded for a piece of bread
Among those, dozens are children. The smae children that we welcomed this weekend for a special Soccer Tournment, just a few meters from the dumpsite.

Among those, dozens are children. The smae children that we welcomed this weekend for a special Soccer Tournment, just a few meters from the dumpsite.
In total, around 140 kids (10 - 14 years old) making 10 teams representing the surronding neighbourhoods.
Today, we had the playoffs, and even with heavy rain, they played with joy in a day that started around 7 in the morning when the first children arrived. Check the pictures...

Summer Time and Tropical Storms
This last saturday, the temperature reached 104º F (40º C). This is really hot! A few minutes after, Maputo was hit by a storm, destroying many houses and trees. We are safe!
