LITTLE HEAVEN

Right in the heart of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa is a small orphanage called 'Little Heaven'. One of the orphans, Lydia, turned 13 today.  A truly joyful event, because she can now move to the ‘other house‘ where all of the ‘big kids’ live.  Unfortunately this special day is  overshadowed by the shocking news delivered to her by the head nurse: Lydia is HIV positive.
