Roodewal Kids (from my Flickr)
These kids are from a community called Roodewal. While not as badly off as a lot of the blacks in the townships of South Africa, the coloureds don’t have the best of times either. There’s a rampant drug problem and culture of fatherlessness and abuse.
These kids, however, still like to have fun whatever their circumstance. I think they were all dressed up because this was on Christmas day, for some of these kids the one day a year where they get new clothes.
