Down a small embankment forcing the heavy rains away from a paneled wooden door, which scraped along the gritty floor of a darkened room we entered.

It took a while for my eyes to adjust from the daylight in to this hovel of filth.
A torn and dirty sheet hanging from rusted nails from the soot-covered webs for privacy lifted and there a small child stood with his mother with a baby in her arms.

The whites of the child’s eyes began to fill with tears and then a squeal; To this small boy we are beings from another planet, our white skins, our bodies a confusion of smells from odour to exotic perfumes.  The squeal turns to a cry of panic, I take the baby from the mother and she lifts the child up over her already swollen pregnant belly.
