It was one of our first time to visit Enkanini, the poorest subdivision of the Khayelitsha informal settlement in Cape Town. When we were walking through the area, we were surprised to discover children playing under a pickup truck cap. It was hot and lacked ventilation. The ground was made up of coarse sand. Nevertheless, to the children, it was their playground. Without any adult supervision, the girl in the picture was afraid when I approached her. She hid herself in the corner.
In this slum, many children severely lacked proper care from their parents and community. However, each one of them desire for the warmth that only a family can provide. Like all children, they enjoy games and playtime. We have so much more than a lot of people. We ought to be more grateful and share more with the less fortunate.
這是南非開普敦的貧民區Enkinini， 光愛中心為這社區提供服務。當工作還未開始的時候，義工隊伍跟隨負責人探訪了解居民。當時看見一個舊車的上身部分，擺設屋前，還以為是廢 鐵，但俯身卻見到小孩子在內玩耍。那麼酷熱的天氣，不透風的車蓋內，遍地泥沙，這竟然是小孩的「遊玩天地」，沒有大人在場陪伴，所以見到我這陌生人，嚇得掩面縮在一角。
這兒有太多缺乏照顧的孩童，他們被逼成為野孩子，但其實每個 都渴求家庭溫暖，父母的愛；他們也歡喜遊戲、玩耍。我們有的實在比許多人豐富，讓我們珍惜，讓我們分享。
