Solomon Klein Orphanage









Jean found it easy to coax a smile from this little girl at an orphanage. It is one of 80 in the city. Solomon Klein Orphanage is larger than most and has about 125 infants and toddlers. Many are the babies of the kids who are addicted to glue sniffing. They are known as "Cleferos" after the glue brand Clefa. Unfortunately legal agreements are not in place which would allow North Americans to adopt Bolivian babies.
