Waif Mother

When I first saw her among the "rag pickers" at the Ixtapa dump today, I thought she was a 14 year old waif - rather on the slim side but very pleasant.  Turns out she is a mother of two!

In exchange for taking photos of the people working in the dump, I was asked for some Coca Cola - four 3 litre bottles which were shared with about 20 or more people.

The young mother helped dispense it around, and then fed some to her youngest.  Not long thereafter, she also provided some "alternate nourishment" to the little chap.

More photos of the "Waif Mother".

Quite a lot of photos from the Ixtapa dump today.
