A tiny 6-month old baby is held lovingly by Muzarimu, one of the younger members of the Dustbin tribe. The baby's mother is a sex worker but predictably, like so many women in her profession, has acquired the HIV/AIDS virus, is dying of the disease and can no longer care for her child. The boys have adopted him.Muzarimu is 10 years old, a runaway. His parents have separated because his father threatened the family with knives and beatings. Muzarimu ran away from the abuse anfd has been a member of the tribe since he was 5. He has no idea where his parents are now and does not care.
