Community based support for orphans and other vulnerable children.

In Rambo village, Burkina Faso, approximately one third of the children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Once a week the villagers gather together for a child-to-child workshop where the adults and community volunteers learn about the problems from the children's point of view and find solutions for them. In association with the meeting members of Rambo village perform a dance together.
