Nominee
"africas new tribe ORPHANS_004"
Living rough is a way of life for the Dustbin tribe. Corrugated cartons have a multitude of practical applications. For the tribe they are used as a mattress, blanket and when it rains, the boys crawl into boxes in a meagre attempt to keep dry. Bright Nyakojo, 11, joined the Dustbin tribe a year ago. His parents died years ago but he has no memory exactly when. Bright was part of another tribe known at the Ghetto Boys, but departed because he was being harassed. He wants to go to school so he can learn to read.
